Expert assessments
The large part of Igor Gubskiy's artworks is portraits. To this genre, the artist remains paradoxical faithful in modern times. The style of his artworks continues the traditions of the psychological portrait of classical and pre-avant-garde art. The artistic and technical practices of Igor Gubskiy's works refer us to the picturesque world of Diego Velázquez paintings, the expressive world of Francisco Goya paintings, dramatic world of Rembrandt paintings. Igor Gubskiy thoughtfully transforms the technical findings and techniques of Nikolay Feshin and Corneliu Baba in his artworks.
The art historian Roman Zvinyatskovskiy about the works that were represented at the exhibition in Malmö:
The people in Igor Gubskiy portraits are not fantastic figures. They are examples of ordinary people, maybe a little bit strange, from the artist’s childhood, that made the strongest impressions on him. The artist often selects his motives from the so-called society of the lower strata, where he finds universal human and aesthetic values. Igor Gubsky does not seek to emphasize this in his paintings deliberately, but nevertheless, the result is evident. For me, Igor Gubskiy's art is “aristocratic democracy”. This term, of course, contains two words that are opposites of each other, but this contrary characterizes the artist’s art in the best way. [6]
The famous Ukrainian art critic Olesya Avramenko wrote:
Igor Gubskiy is an artist with a steady hand and a precise eye, who brings life to his paintings with a few dynamic strokes. His works are full of life and trembling. He is the genius master who can brilliantly translate natural impressions into sharp, expressive, recognizable images. The artist skillfully and effortlessly knows how to create ordinary but vividly expressive images, which is an unprecedented thing even for notorious realist painters. [4]
