Robert Doble’s latest paintings provide a narrative of our molecular world. The first impact is one of vibrancy as colours of unlikely combinations (yellow, mauve and purple or pink and yellow) catch the eye while the mind attempts to catch up with the image. Whereas much abstract art invites more of an intellectual response than a sensual one, in these paintings, the use of colour and the web-like structures seemingly caught at a moment of transformation initiate a dialogue with the viewer about a living, sensate, organic world always in a state of change, yet simultaneously creating momentary states of order. 

Doble’s paintings are inspired by his interest in medical plates that show, under the microscope, the intricate patterns and dance-like movements of cellular matter. These paintings do not give a static surface; it is as if we are viewing the blueprints of human activity not only of our own bodies but also the natural environments in which we exist.
