Sara Pope’s paintings are instantly recognisable, and not just because of her subject matter. Driven by her fascination with the beauty of communication, the lips that Sara paints are often full of the confidence most people could only wish to possess. Portraying this attitude without words draws the viewer in - we all want to know more about the subject.
Her practice involves a self developed technique of layering translucent oils to create the gentle depth and sensitivity associated with the mouth.
A juxtaposition we just can’t get enough of.
