Alexander Dubovik. The Signs is the result of a five-year research of Alexander Dubovik's work by the curators of the Stedley Art Foundation. The publication traces the development of the author's artistic work over four decades, releasing the process of modification of his work, launched in the sixties.

In the work of Oleksandr Dubovyk, classical philosophical ideas are combined with the experience of twentieth-century artists - each work is created from complex visual and semantic symbols that reveal new knowledge about the world, philosophy and humanity.

Dubovik's early works were executed in the traditional academic way, tending to the strict style of the time, in which most Soviet painters of the second half of the twentieth century worked. Gradually, the artist began to move away from depicting the world in realistic images and developed an individual figurative and plastic language, where his creative searches, views on cubism, abstraction, icon painting and the avant-garde were combined into one whole. His paintings are abstract only at first glance, because they always contain the memory of a real form, event, emotion, they are reduced impressions of the real world.
