dubetube.art PRESENTS: Polite Fictions

Polite Fictions36x36 in — Acrylic and Enamel on CanvasDubes, 2025 At first glance, the painting presents balance—two parallel strips running side by side, nearly indistinguishable in form. Their symmetry suggests calm, yet closer inspection reveals a split. The lighter band offers the surface we present: the curated self, polished through smiles, social rituals, and gestures of ease. The darker band carries a different weight: the shadow beneath, where repressed truths and unspoken tensions gather. The power of Polite Fictions lies in their similarity. Both bands are made of the same substance, painted with the same hand, born from the same origin. Yet one translates itself into light, the other into shadow. This duality embodies the small negotiations of daily life—the difference between what we show and what we withhold. Freud might call it the dance of ego and id; in modern terms, it is the performance of civility against the undercurrent of truth. The title points to this dynamic. Polite Fictions are the stories we tell in the name of harmony, the soft disguises that grease the wheels of human interaction. They are necessary, but never complete. The painting suspends us in the thin boundary where these fictions are constructed—between appearance and reality, smile and silence, light and weight. Ultimately, the work suggests that what we hide and what we show are not separate selves but parallel states, drawn from the same fabric. To step past the pleasantries is to confront the continuity between them, to acknowledge that our masks and shadows are intertwined.
