"Lola Dupré is a collage artist and illustrator. Working predominantly with paper, her work references both the Dada aesthetic of the early 20th Century and the digital manipulations of the present day. By distorting familiar images into borderline grotesques, Dupré's work is distinctly humorous. Though visibly meticulous in process, Dupré's work still retains its sense of fun and curiosity". - Art Space.com. Lola Dupre is still currently creating her art in her hometown of Glasgow, Scotland. If you'd like to see more of her artworks you can visit her website: loladupre.com
When I first noticed Lola Dupre's artwork, it took me a moment to realize that the photographs had been altered. As I changed the color levels in the editing software the cut-lines would be enhanced at times and then at other levels the cut-lines were not noticeable. This photograph manipulation technique has been around for a long time, perhaps dating back to the first photographs. Individuals were cutting and creating alternate versions of the original photograph, and arranging the pieces in a collage.
This early version of "photoshop" can be quite convincing with the needed contrast and brightness levels, which can help to hide the cut-lines on the paper. After studying these photographs it got me thinking if I myself had ever been fooled by a manipulated photograph. I'm sure I have. How easy it could be to fool people by carefully cutting and pasting images together. Were some of the buildings of the past, that are no longer around, actually creations of an artist? I can't say for certain, but I also can't rule it out.
