LOLA DUPRÉ
How long does it take to create one piece?
Impossible to say, some are done before i can catch my
breath, some take countless millennia to complete.
Many of your images display people who seem to
suffer from Dawn’s syndrome or at least the distortion
has made them look like that. Is it intended?
Certainly not!, i intend nothing, the only interpretation
is in the eye of the viewer. I find suggesting
something to be much more powerful than proclaiming
it out loud.
Is it hard for a female artist to emerge nowadays?
I don’t think so, you need balls to get far in this industry.
I have even better than that, I have tits.
What were biggest obstacles in your career so far?
Getting to the point where i was selling enough work
to make a living from. It took many years but i am
finally in that coveted place where i make a living
from my art and doing exactly what i want to do.
Do you think Osama Bin Laden is really dead?
Ohhh tricky question, well possibly. It’s also possible
he died some time ago, and the US military have only
just identified his corpse. I certainly imagine the details
of it have been manipulated for propaganda purposes
anyway. Its also possible that his contract with
the CIA has run out and he has retired in Florida. It’s
not that important to me, he is just one man.
What’s next for you? What piece are you working on?
I am currently making a new group of work for a
solo show i am doing at the phone booth gallery in
Long Beach California in October of this year. For
this show i am making a collection of pieces in the
“exploding” style of which there are already a few
pieces on my site.
