Lucas Dupuy joined my collection back in 2017 when,again, my good friend Oli Epp introduced me to his work at City and Guilds of London Art School graduation show. While I was having a chat with Oli, he said "Hey Cat, come and let me introduce you to Lucas Dupuy. His work is incredible" . And there he was this young man surrounded by his paintings.
While I was trying to understand the meaning of these perfectly executed shapes on his canvases ,Lucas then came and explained the idea behind his work: Dyslexia
Having problems with his own language, the frustration accumulated throughout the years pushed him to explore the subject more and more within his own work. I was fascinated with what I was hearing while I was lost visually in his paintings. I knew I had to have one of his works so I made the decision of buying a canvas right there and then.
To understand Lucas Dupuy work it's important to understand his mind:
“I have been really interested in hieroglyphics, the use of symbols within the language is really interesting and relates back to understanding my own language.”
