Sophia Lapres is based in Toronto, Ontario.

Sophia Lapres is an artist working in between painting and writing. Her paintings are atmospheric, but from a distance—they’re like watching romantic scenes through dirty binoculars. She paints to illustrate her writing and writes to narrativize her paintings. The effect is sequential; each painting is a frame from a film where the narrative extends out infinitely on either side. Confessional and voyeuristic at once, wanting and feeling bad about it are central themes in her work. Her paintings want to whisper secrets in your ear.
