REVIEWS
Alice Dubiel directly commented on “wilderness” designation itself as a mask for our destruction of the earth. Her Views and Reviews: A Wilderness Tale exposed the exploitation of nature with pithy quotes and kitsch images.
-Susan Platt, Art Papers, May-June 1999
There’s a new look at the old in Alice Dubiel’s complex and poetic piece Views and Reviews: A Wilderness Tale,... [which] alludes to the conflict between civilization and nature.
-Ron Glowen, The Herald [Everett WA], January 8, 1999
Alice Dubiel is clever: in her installation at 911 Media Arts, she wrapped what was really a polemic in engaging dress. Her five window panels, like so many holiday window displays, drew in curious passers-by.... Dubiel used the panels to present visually her thesis that our view of the landscape, and of nature, is inevitably colored by the same desires for control and order that drive our relationship with the urban realm.
-Christopher Hawthorne, Seattle Weekly, January 26, 1994
Alice Dubiel addresses the issue of nuclear threat and environmental toxicity with a series of exquisite watercolors that combine the fluid delicacy of Persian miniatures with the format of medieval illuminations.
—Claire Accomando, Artweek, November 3, 1984
Alice Dubiel, using the scroll format of traditional Eastern painting in Apocalyptic Visions, connects the “ancient burning terror” of volcanic eruption to nuclear holocaust.
—Judith Margolis, Artweek, January 9, 1988.
A positive historical note is sounded by Alice Dubiel’s painting, Lay Women Healers in Medieval Europe, which calls to mind the fact that women have also been able to heal and have often been sisters to one another.
—Louise Moore, Artweek, June 9, 1984
