Born in 1965 in Moselle, Robin Dubois is an unconventional artist whose pictorial awakening came late, at the age of 56. During an exhibition, an artist encouraged him to try abstraction, telling him that drawing is not essential — only passion matters. Robin then threw himself into painting, without a safety net, and discovered a sudden, blazing vocation.
Red, yellow, white, black… his first works erupt with colour like a release. His style quickly emerged: powerful, instinctive, luminous. These are inhabited canvases, signed by a free and spontaneous hand nicknamed “the cat,” in reference to his first painting on a wooden panel and to that unmistakable “paw” that has become his mark.
