Serge Dubreuil – Unknown, De Serge Dubreuil

The composition presents two figures positioned symmetrically against a backdrop that dissolves into abstract color fields. Both women possess strikingly similar features: large eyes, full lips, and pale skin, contributing to a sense of idealized beauty and perhaps suggesting a shared identity or archetype. Their gazes are directed forward, seemingly detached from the viewer, fostering an atmosphere of enigmatic stillness.
The figures are draped in flowing garments that blend with the surrounding colors, blurring the boundaries between form and environment. The fabrics appear almost ethereal, hinting at a realm beyond the tangible. A cascade of what appears to be golden hair frames their faces, further enhancing their otherworldly quality.
Textual elements are integrated into the artwork. Phrases like Deesses (Goddesses) and De la Mer (Of the Sea), along with “De l’Amour” (Of Love) appear superimposed on the composition, suggesting a thematic connection to mythology, nature, and romantic ideals. The presence of a signature and date (Serge 1988) anchors the work within a specific time frame while also acknowledging the artists role in its creation.
The color palette is dominated by warm tones – oranges, yellows, and reds – juxtaposed with cooler blues and purples. This interplay creates visual tension and adds depth to the composition. The application of paint appears loose and expressive, contributing to a sense of movement and dynamism despite the figures static poses.
Subtly, there’s an impression of confinement or enclosure. A dark band runs along the bottom edge, visually separating the figures from what might be considered a terrestrial plane. This could imply a separation between the divine realm represented by the women and the mortal world below. The overall effect is one of dreamlike ambiguity, inviting contemplation on themes of beauty, divinity, and the interplay between reality and imagination.
