OIL ON CANVAS 61X46CM. SPAIN CIRCA60
"Free and spontaneous although rigorously composed, Dabin's painting refuses the demands of fashion. The artist, with his perfectly controlled gestures, obeys his perception of the world which only retains the essential, and it is up to the spectator to recreate the subject according to his desire.
With passion he establishes in a dazzling outline the main lines which suggest a fair, Don Quixote or bulls in Spain while nimbly placed spots of color give life and expression to the theme evoked. The masses are arranged in a deliberate tumult, never confused, under a light which makes the palette sing with its excellent tonal ratios. From his bubbling abstract backgrounds which create space emerge the simplest subjects which Dabin, through his personal writing witness to an ardent temperament, transcends into a work of art shot through with the thrill of life."
