AMPED Neon is from Sara Pope's coveted collection of lip portraits, and is available exclusively at Enter Gallery.
Each lifelike piece that Pope creates begins life with a photoshoot, a model and a touch of make-up. The models are asked to think about certain emotions and life events, which allows Pope to capture the array of moods our mouths help us to convey, whether that be happiness, love or flirtation.
Next, Pope paints the lips using multiple thin layers of oil paint to create the glass-like quality her artworks are known for.
This AMPED Neon giclée print is based on an original artwork made from oil paint and neon. The print is finished with a screen of diamond dust, and another screen of ultra-high gloss. From a limited edition of 25, the piece is signed and numbered by the artist.
