DIGITAL - SUPERNOVA

Sara Pope: “As part of my current exhibition at South Place Hotel I am delighted to present my first ever digital artwork, ‘SUPERNOVA’ which I created with the fantastic innovation agency Tiger Heart. Using my emblematic lips paintings as a starting point, I wanted to create something magical, beautiful and otherworldly. Taking the intrinsic attributes of my paintings; sensuality, the use of light, colour and light reflection, we then integrated them dynamically into images of my works. The resulting piece has a galactic quality. The lips sparkle and dazzle, emanating light from within, at times the light moving as if liquid, in an organic flow of stardust. I decided to name the piece SUPERNOVA – ‘a star at the optimal peak of luminosity’, as a reference not only to this, but to the metaphorical notion of the star, epitomising beauty, enchantment and the divine.”
