JEFF KOONS X BERNARDAUD

LIPS COMMEMORATIVE PLATE

Lips is a large-scale painting from Jeff Koons's series Easyfun-Ethereal featuring lush food and fashion imagery floating against a pastoral background. The lustrous, lipstick covered lips, locks of hair, corn kernels, and fruit slices, and peach colored liquid are computer-scanned reproductions taken from magazine advertising and the artist's personal photographs, combining familiar yet sometimes unrelated images to create a surreal layered painting rendered with photo-realist perfection.
