Lola Dupre's Steady Hand
Friday, 15 February 2013 /// Written by Trippe

Lola Dupre makes very beautifully intricate collages and is in a group show at CES Contemporary in Laguna Beach, California opening Saturday, Feb 16th.

Her piece below titled Processionary Squares | 100cm x 100cm / 39.5' x 39.5' will be in the show, and she emailed these process photos to give a little insight into her process... her, what we imagine to be, very patient time consuming process. Steady hand, Lola. Great work.

Sup Brow @1(h)ree Gallery
Monday, 08 October 2012 /// Written by Trippe

Melbourne --- Australian artist and friend of ours Hamishi, who participated in 11.11.11 last year, curated the group show "Sup Brow" at Melbourne's 1(h)ree Gallery. Unfortunately the show has concluded, but here are some images from works by Henry Gunderson, Tom O'Hern, Hiroyasu Tsuri (TwoOne), Dylan Martorell, Miso, Lola Dupre, Sean Morris, and Hamishi.

Where is the middle ground between high and lowbrow art in Australia's regressive commercial contemporary art scene? "Sup Brow?" is an exhibition presenting an informed discussion on the relevance of "Juxtapoz Art" in contemporary art and the border between Lowbrow and Mainstream Australian painting through the lens of Australian and international painters, illustrators and mixed practice artists.

Well, there was a fire in our building on the 27th of September that left FFDG homeless, but with the help with our friends at Park Life, we found a temporary space in the Inner Richmond while we figure out our permenant home situation.

In the last couple weeks we made a rough looking space look gallery like with a lot of work and much more white paint. Last Friday, Nov 11th, we opened two shows. Mario Marinez (Mars-1) in the larger back space and the group show 11.11.11 featuring young artists from the USA and beyond doing work that we're very excited about and who have been recently featured within Fecal Face. Here we present the group show 11.11.11.

Describe your work a little bit.

I'm a collage artist and for the last few years i have really stuck to this medium. I rarely combine images together, instead i generally work from multiple prints of the same image to produce work. So the source image is still very visible, just warped and bent out of shape. Perspective and composition can change quite drastically while still retaining the original content.

Music heavy on your playlist these days?

Dutch Techno and Ethiopian groove. And i'm always head banging wildly to the tunes of my old studio pal the NIALLIST.

Fear, from the Feelings series, collaborative project with Dan Monick

Favorite mediums to work within?

Collage forever!

Dream job other than artist?

Head of propaganda for a large nation state / Electro Ninja of vengeance.

3 Way Collab - Barrington, Dupre, & Gonick
Thursday, 03 February 2011 /// Written by Trippe

Got an email from Wilford Barrington who we mini interviewed back in November with this great image attached. It's off a project he did with the talented Lola Dupre who we interviewed this last month. It's a 3 way collab from artists who met each other through Fecal Face. Love it.

Check out this collaboration Lola and I did. It's of my portraits of Noam Gonick. It's like a 3 way artist collaboration: Me and Noam, then Lola and I... Fecal Face brought us all together. -Thanks, Wilford

Lola Dupre Interview
Monday, 03 January 2011 /// Written by Jessica Trippe

No computer used in the making of her collage; pure scissors, glue and a lot of patience. Intense work from this Glasgow based artist. We love it, and Jessica emailed her a few questions to get some insight into this talent whose works takes on avergage 25 hours to produce... She's also available for commissions. Wink wink.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, Age? Location? Hometown?

Name: Lola Dupre, Age : 28, Location, between several locations in Scotland, my main studio is in Glasgow and I also work and live in two remote studios in the far north of the country. I consider Glasgow my home town, but I was born in Algeria. And spent my childhood in Paris France and London England.

Have you always created collage-based works? What was your early work like?

I have always created collage, since I was 9 or 10. But I spent most of my teenage years experimenting with papier-mache and this was my real initiation into photomontage. With papier-mache I made 3D forms, the surface of which was composed of many pieces of paper stuck down upon paper. I was always very interested in this accidental photomontage and it led me to my first experiments towards the photomontage style that I do today.

I’m so curious about your process - it looks like you must use multiple prints of the same image. Can you tell us about your process, how long it takes?

Indeed, I use multiple prints of the same image, printed on (typically) A4 and A3 paper. And I also generally print a few different crops of the same image, so that when they are combined in one piece you have several sizes which can be manipulated together. The process itself of mapping out, and sticking down each individual piece does take a long time, I guess my average working time would be between 20 and 30 hours per image.

Using the right glue, brushes and scissors you can get pretty quick, and with a bit of practice you dont smudge any glue. If you think of some of Jean-Paul Goude's work with Grace Jones, this is what I do, just with more pieces.
