Lulu Guinness creates accessories such as handbags where a facial feature, the lips, is the main feature and the only detailed part of the accessory. the reason in me researching this artist further is that I liked the idea of something so simple becoming the main aspect of the piece and how it creates such a bold statement and look using only a few vibrant colours to create a strong contrast between the shapes to me this creates an eye-catching look that stands out from everyday environments and creates a bold statement i.e. proud of being a woman as well as showcasing their wealth or individuality and uniqueness, this is something Lulu Guinness portrayed not only in her art work and fashion statements but by wearing vibrant red lipstick on a daily basis this became her unique look and soon became a fashion statement through out her work, this meant that it was personalised to the artists personality and any piece with the red lips on could be easily identified as her work which helped Lulu to be remembered and known.
How I link it to my work:
The lips/mouth is a basic feature that all humans have and need to function i.e. to eat and to communicate through sound.
