Dupré's paintings, Stories of the
Universe, go from one scenario to another without being pinioned
to a time-space hold. No surface arrests transport, no referent
inhibits metaphoric-metonymic shift. Approach routes pursue
many embedded, differentiated meanings.
The paintings have historic and mythic underpinnings, literary
and filmic sources. They circulate and cross-fertilize by
the help of mysterious shadowings, echoes and separations,
animal costuming, layers of Dante's underworld. They are visually,
almost theatrically compelling as they match an exquisitely
tuned and perceptually penetrating, yet skeptical, probing
new era.
CMDupré has taught Art Theory,
