Her images conjure up a phantasmagorical, dreamlike world, populated by unsettling creatures, entangled shapes and multiplied eyes, somewhere between figuration and abstraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy adding and covering, layer after layer, the artist creates what she calls “shreds of images,” fragments of a story that is constantly being reinvented, with many ramifications. The eye wanders, as if into a metaphorical forest born of the artist’s unconscious. Her recurring motifs lead the way into the disquieting strangeness of her inner theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1974 in Quimper, Alexandra Duprez has lived and worked in Douarnenez for many years.
