Painting Jour férié by Dupin Dominique | Painting Figurative Urban Oil

"Glean from each moment the irreplaceable newness and do not prepare your joy, or know that in place of what you prepare will emerge a different joy", wrote André Gide. Dominique Dupin's palette is warm and shimmering. His subjects, scenes of life, "street scenes" as the artist refers to them, landscapes and seascapes express the happiness and enthusiasm of a creator hungry for experiences and new adventures. He is very much attached to his South-western region, which he deems rich in particularities, and translates in painting the movement and positive energy of what is around him, of onlookers, markets, alleys or monuments.
