Contemporary artist Cassandra Yap merges beauty and sensuality in her breathtaking prints like no other. Using photomontage techniques, Yap explores femininity and sexuality, using images of vintage pin up girls merged with gentle flora and fauna, delicate butterfly wings and exquisite colour palettes. Yet her work is unsettled with dark undertones images of death and decay pervade her prints, bringing a rich, contemplative mood to her aesthetic prowess. For ‘Snowflake’, Yap has created a twinkling, Christmassy crystal, crafted from a collage of erotic images scantily clad women pose in provocative positions, to make the shape of a snowflake. Washed with a soft blue tone, and finished with a sparkling, iridescent layer, Yap’s print might be mixing naughtiness with festive cheer, but this is one that won’t be going away with the Christmas decorations come January bold, beautiful, and iconic, you’ll want to keep ‘Snowflake’ up all year round.
