Kelli Dubay is a photographer and artist that has shown in several galleries across the USA, and has won many awards including Best of Show at the Art Institute and Gallery in Salisbury, MD, with the Juror being Dr. Virginia Mecklenberg - Senior Curator for the National Museum of American Art in Washington, DC. Dr. Mecklenburg spoke particularly of the beauty of the simple shapes and the handling of the medium. Artists Statement: I consider my artwork reminiscent of the Fauves Era. I work primarily with what we consider the human face/body usually using unnatural (for the context) colors and simplified form which is intended to convey emotion without conceptual conflict. My work is very straight forward. Rarely do I use background information, except for color. The simplicity of my work is intended to enable the viewer to find themselves caught wondering about the emotion that the artwork is portraying rather than getting lost in way too much information.
