Joelle Dubois

A moving collection of paintings and drawings following the artist's (b. 1990) mother's battle with Alzheimers. Joëlle Dubois’ deeply moving monograph features new paintings and works on paper. Building on her previous series, Forget Me Not (2022), Dubois delves into themes of loss, grief, memory, and love, shaped by her personal journey following her mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s. Dubois’ evocative works explore the delicate interplay of vulnerability and strength, balancing sorrow with moments of humor and meditative calm. Using a subdued, monochromatic palette and minimalist compositions, she invites the viewer into a world where emotions take center stage. Central motifs like windows, butterflies, and hair cutting reflect themes of transformation, transition, and release. Through strikingly intimate imagery, including self-portraits and poignant depictions of her mother, Dubois crafts a poetic meditation on connection, identity, and healing. Joëlle Dubois’: From Here on Out reveals a raw, honest perspective on life, loss, and the enduring hope for renewal.
