Summer Screen Prints @SomersetHouse

Cruel Intentions @Cassandra Yap

This print is highly iconic and so I purchased a postcard version in the hopes that by the time my bedroom is decorated I can find a home for it. With the vivid glossy red lips seductively bitten there is something racy and promiscuous, and youthful because of the braces, yet the skull shaped brackets infer something mysteriously rebellious.

Victoria @Gavin Dobson

About these prints in particular there is an emphasis on the outline of the shape, the motif, the silhouette that generates that alternative point of view. In the previous print there is a notion of temptation and rebellion, in this print there seems to be themes of violence that is depicted from the gun shaped hand-gesture however within the silhouette reveals the deeper and truer meaning. Pools of turquoise, perhaps resembling tears and sorrow that drowns the fearful face of a fragile victim.
