Interference blue — an ink that shifts between blue and a complementary colour depending on the viewing angle, the interference between the pigment layers producing a colour that isn't constant — with a gloss varnish layer over it. Unpoppable uses these materials to create a surface that changes as you move around it, the graphic simplicity of the image given a physical complexity that makes the looking active rather than passive.
Cassandra Yap described her own work as ever simple yet ever effective, which is an honest assessment. The directness of the image is the point — the technique then does what technique should, adding something that pure image-making can't. Screen print with interference blue and gloss varnish, signed. £150.
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.
