Lola Dupre is a contemporary artist who creates surreal and humorous collages of animals, portraits, and historical images. She uses a technique of slicing and rearranging photographs, either digitally or by hand, to distort and reconfigure the original subjects. Her works often play with perspective, repetition, and perception, resulting in exaggerated and whimsical compositions.
One of her ongoing personal projects is a series of collages featuring her rescue cat Charlie. She depicts Charlie in various situations and expressions, such as cross-eyed, grumpy, or knowledgeable. She also transforms Charlie into different animals, such as a kangaroo, a horse, or a bird. She says that Charlie is “drop dead adorable and super knowledgeable about the local area” and that he loves tuna and is scared of ants.
She is based in Glasgow, Scotland, and works from her home studio. She also accepts commissions and sells originals and prints on her website. Her collages are a unique and playful way of exploring the personalities and emotions of her subjects, as well as challenging the viewers’ expectations and perceptions.
