For my lips series, I am looking at Maryiln Minter's photographs (shown below) of gritty but glamorous red lips, and I am interested in trying to play with the idea of message transmission through art by attempting to communicate verbally through a non-verbal medium. Essentially the viewer has to "read my lips".
I am currently working with a fleshy color pallete, starting with the lips, then pushing it further to experiment with a landscape painted as skin (upper right). I am looking at Turner's expressive landscapes (first bottom) mixed with similar color found early Alex Katz's works (second bottom).
