Glasgow-based artist Lola Dupre’s evocative and sometimes humorous photographic collages of animals, historic pictures, and portraits faucet into the distinctive personalities and feelings of her topics. A cross-eyed cat has its imaginative and prescient multiplied, and a Shiba Inu’s joyful face pokes out of an infinite physique in a play on repetition and notion. Dupre captures a variety of expressions in each human and animal type (beforehand), exaggerating a raised eyebrow or fuzzy paw by layering quite a few items of paper to increase legs, arm, eyes, and different options.
Dupre’s work shall be included in Division of Birds at Paradigm Gallery + Studio in Philadelphia, and you’ll find extra of her work on her website, Behance, and Instagram.
