Sara Pope’s art imitates the slick and flawless images that are used in advertising, questioning societal standards of beauty and the notion of femininity.
After completing a degree in mathematics, Pope felt disconnected from her artistic side and decided to move to Barcelona and study graphic design. Back in the UK, Pope worked in media as an art director and designer for many years. Her passion for shoes led her to enrol in a footwear Diploma at the London College of Fashion, and work as a shoe designer. Pope draws on her knowledge and experience of advertising to create her irresistible and glossy images of glamourous bold lips that emulate the glossy images found in magazines. Pope first paints and photographs her model’s lips in a range of poses, with special lighting and makeup techniques to ensure that they look perfect. These photographs are then used as inspiration for the painting part of the process, which sees Pope layer several coats of thin oil-diluted paint, ensuring at each stage that the colours are blended and smoothed extensively, sometimes with the addition of lipstick too.
We love how Sara takes such care to create her irresistible images, first painting and photographing her model’s lips, photographing them, and then using these shots as inspiration for her work. Sara uses the knowledge gained from working in media to emulate the glossy images often found on the pages of magazines. In turn, she exposes the toxicity of perfectionism that is rife in the commercial sphere.

What is Archival Giclée
Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY) is a neologism, ultimately derived from the French word gicleur, coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made using inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used widely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality.
