Sara Pope is a contemporary British artist, known for her seductive paintings of bold and beautiful lips. With a background in the world of haute couture fashion, and a day job as a high profile shoe designer, it’s no surprise that Pope’s prints are so saturated with style and glamour. Pink, pouty and perfect, Pope’s lip prints, with their high gloss sheen and signature drips of running paint, are nothing short of iconic. ‘Insanely It’ depicts a pair of lustrous, raspberry pink lips, slightly parted with an ultra glossy sheen, as drips of paint slip down the page. Sultry and suggestive, the strength of ‘Insanely It’ lies not only in its aesthetic prowess, but in its nuanced musing on the nature of beauty and celebrity in contemporary culture.
