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, Studies in Creativity, Philosophical Inquiry, and Philosophy in Literature. She writes fiction and nonfiction. See Gival Press and Paycock Press on the web. Or e-mail her for additional material.
