About
Alea Pinar Du Pre's original vibrant and modern artwork depicts a woman's portrait in a graphic pop-realist style. The three-dimensional, textural, linear texture throughout the artwork adds a unique rhythm and dynamic quality. An enterprising autodidact merging linear texture and figurative fine art, her vibrant contemporary artworks colorfully explore the territory between human reality and artificial reality. Her paintings portray the fact that our perceptions of solid reality are deceptively virtual. This unique textured painting is a part of her "Space/Time" series, in which figures are deconstructed through layers of vibrant colors in shades of blue, red, and white.
This abstract portrait of a woman with striking, elongated features, is rendered in vibrant blue and red hues. Her long hair cascades down, blending into the colorful background. She gazes confidently over her shoulder, with an expression that is both enigmatic and captivating. The blending of colors and textured brushwork create a sense of movement and depth, emphasizing her elegance and mystery. The interplay of the cool blues and warm reds provides a dynamic contrast, enhancing the dramatic and artistic feel of the portrait. The overall composition is bold and expressive, inviting viewers to ponder the story behind her compelling gaze.
This one-of-a-kind 76 inch tall by 47 inch wide large artwork is created in a fusion of materials, representing the layered reality she aims to depict. Pinar Du Pre pipes on individual strands of acrylic paint to achieve an illusory digitized effect. The sides of this canvas are painted blue and it does not require framing. Pinar Du Pre has signed, titled, and dated this original artwork on the back of the canvas. She has also initalled the front of this artwork, "AP/DP."
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.
