About
Alea Pinar Du Pre's original mixed media artworks portray human figures in a graphic pop-realist style. An enterprising autodidact merging technology and fine art, her contemporary artworks colorfully explore the territory between human and artificial reality. This unique collage is a part of her "Snapshot" series, as she explains:
"We consist of the same atoms, created billions of years ago in a supernova. And here we are living and breathing and experiencing life, and we think we are all so different. I think we are all the same, it’s just that are masks and poses are different. I love humanity and this game we are playing. With snapshot I am trying to capture the unawareness of the fact that we are the greatest wonder of the universe".
This one-of-a-kind 32 inch tall by 40 inch wide horizontal artwork depicts Debbie Harry from the iconic punk rock band Blondie. This original artwork is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. The sides of this textured canvas are painted white. Pinar Du Pre has signed, titled, and dated this original painting on the back of the canvas and sealed it with a kiss in bright pink lipstick. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and International shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery is included.
Building on the synthetic intensity of digital art, her figurative style depicts a familiar but warped daily life. Pinar Du Pre's fusion of materials - acrylics, printed elements, and layers of gilt captured under an epoxy lens - represents the layered reality she aims to depict.
Alea Pinar Du Pre has been influenced deeply by the traditional fine art and design practices of Kunstlerhaus and Wiener Werkstaette, two artist societies with roots in Vienna, Austria. Paying tribute to her main influences, Alea describes her style as "Jugendstil Pop-Art". But where Pop art was stimulated by the iconography of materialism and the mass culture of its time, her vision is more intimate in its subversive intent.
Alea Pinar Du Pre lives in Vienna, Austria. Her artworks are exhibited and collected in international hot spots across Europe, Asia, and North America.
