Behind the Mask: Pop Art Lips

This nine-piece popart nz artwork collection of smile paintings is an original handpainted New Zealand artwork by New Zealand artist Collette Fergus. Born out of the challenging times of the Covid era, each little canvas tells a story of hope and joy, reminding us to find reasons to smile even in the most difficult moments.

Measuring 100mm x 100mm, each canvas features a vibrant cartoon mouth that radiates infectious positivity. These charming pieces are ready to hang, brightening up any space with their cheerful presence.
What makes this collection even more interesting is the story behind it.

Created during a Covid lockdown, artist Collette embarked on a daily artistic venture, producing one piece per day. This dedicated effort resulted in a pictorial montage that she shared on Instagram to show that we still have faces behind the masks, filling her profile with smiles and spreading positivity far and wide.

This collection is a testament to the resilience and creativity that can flourish even during challenging times. Each painting is a treasure that encapsulates the power of a smile and serves as a daily reminder to embrace positivity.
