Stephan Dybus

The artist set himself a really difficult task – to paint like his seven-year-old daughter. It is not as simple as it seems. But he copes with it. Stefan Dubus is a poet of failures. However, he is not a pessimist at all. Everything that pushes other people into depression, panic and irritation, the artist gets an ironic color. He kind of tells us: “Well, what is it? No matter what troubles you are in, there is no reason to be upset!” His drawings are a whole gallery of losers and sufferers. One literally burns his stomach, the other has too short arms, the third fell apart, the fourth is a victim of undivided love, and the fifth has a balloon. Everybody complains and everyone is happy, living a full life. Dubus plunges the audience into a world of absurdity and carnival, light madness and phantasmagoria. Without humor in the artist’s world, nothing happens at all. There are no rules and laws, except one: you should laugh, or giggle quietly, or at least barely smile.
