LOLA DUPRÉ
horrifying
hilarious
AND
Interview by Christo Mitov
www.loladupre.com
Lola Dupre (28) is a human Photoshop machine. Except that unlike
the image altering program, the Glasgow-based artist takes a
couple more hours or even days to make the changes that would
cost you a couple of clicks with the Adobe program. Lola is born
in Algeria, grows up in Paris and London. Glasgow has been her
home for about 15 years now. She is a raw talent. She never went
to university - her attempt to try out architecture study in London
turned out to be a path she wouldn’t go along with.
In a world where little can impress me much and excitement with
media is reduced to new casting show formats and the eventual
death of Osama bin Laden, her arresting surreal collages give
you a new, hand-crafted perspective on image manipulation.
Taking pre-existing imagery from iconic historical and contemporary
artists, as well as images of her friends and the people
around her, she manipulates and warps familiar canvases to create
new, twisted artworks that invoke both memories and new
perspectives. She is a master of scissors, glue, and surrealism.
Talking about the obstacles she has as a female artist and sharing
some conspiracy theories with us, Dupre gives HONK! an
insight into her grotesque collage world.
