Sophia Lapres
About
In her paintings, Sophia Lapres considers the dense and complicated politics of fantasy – interrogating the discrepancy between personal desire, cultural desire, and the desire of images. Drawing upon film, popular culture, as well as her own personal experiences, Lapres creates intimate, atmospheric paintings that touch upon themes of aspiration, longing, and shame. Lapres holds an MFA at University of Guelph.
