Repost @workinprogress_advisory with @get_repost ・・・ 🍒 Featured in TART 🍒 No More Lip Service Screen Print, by Karen Mainenti (buy online: link in bio) Karen Mainenti’s (@kmainenti) work is a re-engagement of appropriated text and images from consumer products, advertising and media. She is specifically drawn to exploring gender identity, because of its exceedingly elusive construct and the ways it impacts our perceptions of ourselves, interactions with others and cultural foundations. This collection of text-based Color Me Beautiful screen prints present popular, historic lipstick names against a plush background of the color referenced. Using rich color and evocative typography, Mainenti draws attention to the oftentimes whitewashed and sexualized insinuations that underlie each—Ravish Me Red. Pin-up Peach. Fairest Nude. The addition of the metallic gold in the No More Lip Service print seeks to defy these conventions of femininity commonly found in the ordinary objects that surround us. #feminism #feministart #womenempowerment #nomorelipservice #popart #textart #feminist #advertising #equalrights #beautyproducts #lipstick #makeup #screenprint #womenartists #femaleartist #femaleartists #buyart #giftart (at TI Art Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIRCi62luIY/?igshid=peothevgvs1h
