Watch this quick video that gives you a brief history on Dadaism
“[W]orking within the solitude of The Burren in the south west of Ireland, Lola Dupre is a paper collage artist and illustrator creating beautiful distortions of the human form.
Using paper, scissors and glue, Lola’s portraits recall the mastery of Jean-Paul Goude. Twisting conventional fashion imagery to speak to our fragmented ideas of self, she questions our body image issues and affirms our desire to break free from limiting perceptions around culture and gender.
We caught up with the Algerian born artist to talk about her love of Dadaism and the benefits of staying low key on social media.
How would you describe your aesthetic?
My biggest interest is beauty, and the exploration of beauty. My work is firmly rooted in paper manipulation but is deeply influenced to a lifetime exposed to digital manipulation. I love the tactile nature of paper. I think my work is perceived very differently in person when you can see the 3D pattern behind my collages, which enables you to see the shadows and highlights that change in the light as you move.
Why do you think the Dada movement is still so relevant today?
I think the Dada movement was always very diverse, a movement between movements. Dada was about juxtapositions of the world, and now images are more accessible and varied than ever. Dada is the background noise, the unavoidable memories that influence many works.
Tell us about the process of creating one of your collages?
I try to keep the process fresh. Sometimes I have a picture in my head and I try to recreate it, sometimes I begin a work and take pleasure in the accidental course it takes. I try to be flexible, if something happens by chance and I find it beautiful I roll with it.”
