Is Lola Dupre collage or reality?

Tommaso Berra
Lola Dupre | Collater.al

The work of artist and illustrator Lola Dupre has been contended for by the world’s leading magazines and brands for the past few years, her collages having been published in the New York Times, TIME Magazine, and among the pages of Vogue, among others, or have accompanied Nike campaigns.
Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Dupre makes collages that deform the bodies of humans and animals, not forsaking the realism of the subjects but almost playing on the possibilities of manipulating them, to make them an alternative version of themselves, sometimes grotesque, in other cases fantasy.

Cats end up having a thousand eyes and barbed tongues, women’s and men’s necks elongate as in a Modigliani painting, all harking back to a concept of an experiment, performed in a laboratory or in a dream.
The reference to the Dada world is strong, as well as to surrealism, the avant-garde thrust is contained, however, by the compositional scheme of the works, which has much in common with traditional art in its close-ups and genre subjects.
