A successful investigation of a subject yields its portrait.
Danielle Eubank reaches into all her subjects, whether they
be people, animals or natural phenomena, to reveal their
essential quality: their individual “personality”. From an
early graphic style that used saturated colours and bold
compositions, her work has become intimate and painterly,
using a selected palette to produce a much more textured
surface. Eubank uses compositional structure to create
movement and expose the meaning of the image. The subjects
of her paintings are simple, natural phenomena but there is
a strong sense of atmosphere to her pieces. Creating a
memorable image is important to her - visual representations
that grow with the viewer; that continue to be interesting
over a long period of time. She sees each subject as an
entity and attempts to capture a fleeting moment in the life
of that object.
