The Theme, 162 x 114 cm

While choosing to illustrate his favorite airs, Hervé Dubreil transcribes rythmics, colouring, feeling, sensuality, without particular illustrated reference marks. [...]

To work on music and not with music, Hervé Dubreil privileges, for the passages in volutes the pastels to the oil, adapted to large formats, or elsewhere the dry pastel which diffusion is more friable. Following tempo and environment, he finds the power and the force of the oil-base paint. [...]

The matter accentuates there in turn the force, the etiolation and the lengthening of the rhythm.
The thicknesses suggest the extreme variations of the sounds of End Credits or Coming to Town by J.L.Hooker and M. Davies. A contrast of selenium or turquoise blues balances there with the moderate browns and deep rust colors, from which some basses rise from subsoil, with massive vibrations. In response to stridencies, they break in progressive and nonchalant waves. J. Hella, Univers des Arts, 1995.
