Our Notes
Printed on glass, Dealbreaker is a bold, colourful artwork by Sarah Pope. Depicting the iconic red lips that characterise Sara’s art, the piece is both sensual and seductive in its appearance. We love how the use of glass makes this piece come alive when the light passes through it, making this artwork the ideal statement piece.
The bright colours of this work and its playful imagery make this artwork the perfect addition to a gallery wall. It could also be a great way to add colour to a smaller space or room.

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.
