Disco pink glitter on the Marilyn Monroe image — Some Like It Hot (Disco Pink Mini) takes the original colourway somewhere more overtly celebratory, the glitter pushing the whole thing toward something that belongs in a mirror-ball room rather than a black-and-white Hollywood still.
Cassandra Yap's approach to colourways is not simply aesthetic — each palette changes what the image is saying. The disco pink version of the Monroe photomontage is less about the complexity of Marilyn's persona and more about pure visual pleasure, which is a legitimate and different kind of tribute. Mini format, new colourway, signed. £95.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Cassandra Yap
Cassandra Yap is a London-based print artist whose work celebrates the beauty and complexity of love and the power of female sexuality. Fuelled by her fascination with vintage pin-ups and the female form, she blends sensuality with surrealism to create pieces that are both seductive and thought-provoking. Her art delves into themes of reclaiming the narrative around desire, exploring how women experience and express love in both its tender and fierce forms to feel empowered, celebrated and seen in all their complexity. Challenging the traditional portrayals of love and affection, Cassandra’s art offers a refreshing and nuanced perspective on modern intimacy.
Her work has gained recognition in exhibitions such as the Affordable Art Fair in London, where she has showcased her unique perspective in recent years. Cassandra’s work has captured the attention of galleries across the UK, where she is currently represented.
