Lola Dupre's Five Things.

Written by Lazy Gramophone on Friday the 24th of May 2013

Five Things is a series of short journal posts introducing each of the writers and artists involved in our up-coming Time project.

Since the project's inception, the idea has been to create an environment where independent writers and artists could come together in order to share their work. The result of this endeavour is a collection of stories, images and poems based around the theme of time, its pages placing particular focus upon the relationship between words and pictures. By sharing in this way we hope to inspire each other as well as those around us, to draw a diverse audience and so help to illuminate the work of alternative artists and writers everywhere.

Biography.

Born 1982 - Algeria. In early 2012 Lola moved to a new studio in the south of France near Avignon. Previously she worked from the Chateau studios and then the Chalet studios in Glasgow, Scotland. Lola grew up in Algeria, Paris and London before moving to Glasgow where she has produced the majority of her work to date. Highly fractured and complex, her collage work represents her fascination with detail, the normal and the abnormal. Lola Dupre works with portraiture, editorial, commission based projects and collaborates with other visual artists. She is currently working with photographers on several upcoming editorial projects, a clash of art and fashion. Lola Dupre works exclusively with paper, scissors and PVA glue, her collage work is sometimes mistaken for digital manipulation but her work has always been grounded in traditional media. Her inspiration however includes the modern photoshopped collage, as well as people, nature and the work of her peers and accomplices. In 2011 Lola exhibited works in Los Angeles (Phoneboothgallery, CES FA), San Francisco (FFDG), Glasgow (Collins Gallery) and Tokyo (Vacant).

Five Things that have Inspired Me.

1/ The Nose, Nikolai Gogol
One of the first books I can remember reading. I loved the unpredictable fantasy of it. It inspired me to read a lot of Russian literature.

2/ The Triumph of Death, Pieter Bruegel the Elder
My parents had a print of this painting in our bathroom when I was a kid. I loved it because it shocked me and fascinated me, I think before this point I though tart had to be paintings of flowers, English landscapes or Renaissance portraits.

3/ Spain
Over the last two years I lived in France and Portugal. The endless delight at new surroundings is a never ending flow of inspiration.

4/ The Garden of Earthly Delights, Hieronymus Bosch
I have seen this triptych a few times in Madrid, the epic detail and composition are so forward thinking, brilliant and hilarious, you cant help but marvel at it.

5/ The work of Hannah Hoch
I think the first collage artist I became aware of; as a young child I visited an exhibition of her work. I think it influenced the fascination with fuzzy felt that I had at the time.The seemingly simple juxtaposition of images was magical and inspiring.
