From the first, thin layer of glazed oil paint to the last, Leonard Jubenville has built a celebrated career by taking us just beyond the surface of the seen. Optical plays of light elicit volumes of crisp, clear air. Glassy surfaces of water hide the depths we know to be there. With an irrepressible delight in colour and composition, it is through the unmarred surfaces of his paintings that the viewer is ultimately transported beyond the material to experience the world anew. Whether Jubenville turns his eye to the common objects of daily life, the picturesque expanse of the landscape, or its steady evolution into the Anthropocene, there is something equally beautiful and unsettling uncanny about his vision.
