Ok, these are the prettiest mugshots I’ve ever seen. These oil on panel portraits are part of a series, titled ACCUSED, by British artist Sarah Ball. I’m not sure what these trouble-makers did, but I’d probably let all of them go just for lookin’ so darn good!

{I found this work through London’s bo.lee gallery. They’ll be showing Sarah’s work at the London Art Fair in January 2014 and are planning a solo Show for her in May.}

    […] are few of her recent paintings from 2020, and just like every other post I’ve written about her {2013 and 2015}, I’m smitten. Such quiet softness, both in technique and mood. Here is a description of […]
