A galaxy of glossy orbs filled with streaming colors takes center stage in Karen Dupré’s “Marvelous Marbles” series. Originally from California, Dupré skillfully conveys the play of light in both man-made objects and nature. Self-taught, she was initially compelled to paint images of horses and wildlife, and later broadened her artistic scope to include landscapes, figures and still lifes. Inspired by 19th-century artists Klimt, Monet, Remington and Renoir, who defied artistic norms, Dupré similarly aspires to expand her own style and subject matter beyond established boundaries.
