Zanarednu godinu, pak, najavljujesamostalnu izložbu u New Yorku,san svakog svjetskog umjetnika.Uvijek pun novih ideja, Lupinou međuvremenu planira višeinspirativnih putovanja, a za neposrednubudućnost otkriva ambiciozneprojekte, koji bi ga u pargodina trebali pretvoriti u globalnopoznatog umjetnika. Recept jejednostavan i provjeren. Baš kaošto je svojevremeno kao anonimniHrvat u New Yorku stasao ufotografa koji objavljuje u poznatimmagazinima, tako bi sada odslavnog fotografa trebao prerastiu planetarno cijenjena umjetnika.„Imam originalan stil i radimjedinstvena djela, koja ne sliče ničemdo sada viđenom. I ne samoto – moja djela imaju unikatnuenergiju, koju svatko može prepoznatii koja je u današnje apokaliptičnodoba potrebna svima“,zaključuje Stephan Lupino.eng „An intensive involvement in numerous sculptural,mechanical and woodwork ateliers, almostwithout a breath and pushed by creativity passiononly, Stephan Lupino followed his authentic andoriginal ‘lupinism’. There is no simple way to describethe variety of media and multi-layers of thethread of his ideas and work. The shapes which heleft without their initial purpose such as the thronechairs,reliquaries, sarcophagi, tables, mirrors etc.he used to condemn the society and give an ironicimage of the fallen idols... Put in a row Lupino’sthrone-chairs are read as formational bibliographyin alphabetical order of a self-taught artist, whois neither naive nor postmodern incomplete butrather an author of purified and self-sufficient lupinism“the art historian Branka Hlevnjak writesabout the artistic essence of Stephan Lupino.This quote may surprise most readers that knowStephan Lupino just as a popular Croatian photographer.They will be then even more surprised with the newsthat in the last couple of months, can be read in variousforms in the Croatian media, which says that Lupino,who started started dabbling in photography, somewhatby accident, in the early 80’s in New York, is currentlyexhibiting his sculptures and paintings in a NewYork’s Gallery Nine, one of the galleries of Ralph Pucci’sempire, situated in West 18th Street, between 5th and6th Avenue. In fact, from May 20th until October 15th,there you can visit the exhibitions of five artists, includingLupino among which Lupino was introduced, as itis written in the catalogue, with an artistic installationin a pair with the photographic works of Deborah Turbeville“The Dance”. Lupino himself explained that therehe exhibited his bronze sculpture called “Fire Woman”,three metal sculptures, twelve crosses, nine paintings oncanvas and ten drafts.Even before the opening, the company Ralph PucciInternational was warming up the audience on itsFacebook page with these words: “We are so proud+ excited to show this never seen before installation.New Yorker magazine has compared Deborah to RichardAvedon + Irving Penn, two of the greatest fashionphotographers of all time - but Deborah has statedshe really is NOT a fashion photographer. Many of herimages were for fashion, but they had an ulterior motive,something to do with the world in general - thatulterior motive elevates her photographs to the levelof fine art”.
