All work by Lola Dupre
The first image was wtf, then the next few ones were really cute, and then back to wtf. What a roller-coaster! I think the one I enjoyed the most was the dog with glasses.
I had the idea to start off with the moderately tweaked, then descending into the acid trip, until the dimensions melted into WTF....
.....with the quotes hopefully giving a preview of the images, and some context of her process
I love her work, she's also got some excellent cat and human collages that I'll be exploring at some point soon 👍
I definitely did enjoy her work! But I vastly prefer the weird but cute collages over the biblically accurate angel incarnation of dogs. There's something deeply unsettling about the multitude of eyes.
I'll be waiting. She's definitely talanted, and I would enjoy seeing the selection you choose to show us! Thank you for sharing art I'd otherwise would never had discovered.
No probs, I'm already in the process of selecting some
