Alicia Dubnyckyj makes captivating paintings of some of the world’s largest city landscapes. Having focussed in the past on New York, Toronto, San Francisco, Hong Kong, Paris and Tokyo, the two screenprints shown here feature the familiar sights that grace the city of London’s skyline.

Dubnyckyj employs a ‘jigsaw-like’ technique to create flat forms in rich gloss paint, suggesting a global modern aesthetic. Her complex detailing of the semiotics of the city with its iconic buildings and city structures, enable the artist to develop a new formal language of expression that represents her personal relationship towards the metropolis.  Dubnyckyj reveals the true essence of place and demonstrates that the facade of glossy high-rise living cannot eliminate the unique quality that each city holds.  Principally optimistic and celebratory, Dubnyckyj’s paintings show a real passion and excitement for the cities she focuses on.

Dubnyckyj studied at the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design, UCE, graduating in 2001, and has since shown regularly in London and the UK. Solo shows include The Artlounge in Manchester and Birmingham and Sarah Myerscough Fine Art, London.
