The London-based artist Dotty is an emerging name on the international art scene. She primarily works with resin-based installations and is driven by a strong desire to bring creativity into both the studio, gallery spaces, and home environments, while also exploring pop art as an artistic language.

Pucker Up (The Burn & The Cure) is a powerful and radiant contemporary artwork that combines the playful spirit of pop art with a sleek, modern aesthetic. Through its iconic lip motif and vibrant, high-impact colour palette, the piece creates an immediate visual attraction that feels both bold and refined.

The work unfolds as a vivid three-part visual narrative that forms a dynamic and uplifting whole. The opening stage expresses pure joy and curiosity – a sense of flirtation, playfulness, and spontaneous energy. This evolves into a more intense, energetic symbol in the chilli, representing passion, drive, and the excitement of fully embracing life’s sensations rather than pain. It becomes a celebration of emotion experienced at its most vivid and unfiltered.

The final stage, featuring a sleek ampoule marked “LOVE,” introduces a sense of balance, harmony, and emotional clarity. Here, love is presented as a restorative and elevating force – a positive reminder of care, connection, and emotional well-being.

Executed in a glossy, resin-like finish with striking depth and luminosity, the artwork carries a luxurious, contemporary presence. It stands as a confident statement piece, commanding attention while maintaining a sense of playful accessibility and charm.

Pucker Up (The Burn & The Cure) is a celebration of emotional richness – from curiosity and passion to love and equilibrium – transforming these states into a visually compelling experience filled with color, vitality, and positive energy.
