About the Item

Mona Lisa getting a Make over with the pencil with red paint or lipgloss on it, photographed by Tyler Shields in 2018. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. This is another example of Tyler Shields' provocative photographic art, manipulating Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. The image shows a hand painting bright red lipstick onto the Mona Lisa's famously enigmatic smile using a fine brush. This piece continues Shields' theme of subverting iconic imagery while incorporating elements of beauty and fashion. Adding modern makeup to this masterpiece creates an interesting commentary on contemporary beauty standards and the modernization of classical art. Hailed as “the Andy Warhol of his generation” by Sotheby’s, TYLER SHIELDS is a celebrated fine art photographer renowned for his daring and provocative images. Originally a world-champion inline skater, Shields brought his relentless drive to photography, soon becoming one of the youngest artists featured at Sotheby’s. His work has been showcased in prominent galleries worldwide, from Los Angeles to London, and he has collaborated with major brands including Armani and Adidas. Known for pushing boundaries, his shoots often involve high-risk setups, from models holding flaming luxury items to posing with live lions—each shot crafted with his signature intensity and vision.
