Contemporary artist Zoe Moss works at the intersection of fine art and photography, to produce a powerful photorealist aesthetic. Her prints focus on the iconic from superhero to celebrity with a humorous twist creating mini narratives and adding off kilter elements, Moss’s work explores the modern day obsession with the cult of the icon in striking form. ‘Some Like It Hot’ depicts a nude, 1950s pin up, posing provocatively for the viewer. Ever alert to the satirical, Moss has updated the Biblical fig leaf, adding the universal Facebook and Instagram symbols over each breast, in a nod to the contemporary platforms for ‘liking’ images. Set against Moss’s signature soft pink background, the image is both comic and iconic, with its bold visual appeal and smart conceptual prowess.
