AUDREY HEPBURN | Modern Pop Art Resin Portrait | HYPNOTIQ

An original contemporary artwork by Arian Lori-Amini, known professionally as HYPNOTIQ.
AUDREY HEPBURN renders one of the most elegant faces in cinematic history as a three dimensional resin portrait with the studio's pop art sensibility and high gloss finish.
The work. Created in 2022, the portrait joins the tradition of the celebrity series while occupying a space that tradition never entered. Warhol worked in silkscreen, which flattens a face into a graphic. Working in dimensional resin does the opposite: the planes of the face have to be modelled and then lit, so the elegance is carried by structure rather than by outline.
The form. The features that made this face iconic, the brow, the neck, the set of the jaw, are precisely the features that read through shadow, which makes the subject unusually well suited to three dimensions. The high gloss surface then adds a contemporary tension that a matte finish would soften away.
Materials and craft. Resin cast portrait with acrylics, spray paint and epoxy under a high gloss finish, hand detailed, on a display base.
For the collector. There is something about this subject that makes rooms feel more composed, and the sculpture carries that quality. Suited to a living room, dressing room, study, boutique or hospitality interior, and to collectors of pop art portraiture and twentieth century cultural icons.
