Stop! features The Supremes who command the scene with a blend of poise and personality. Set against a rich purple backdrop, they stand side by side, each styled in that unmistakable 1960s vibe—big black hair, bold earrings, and sleek white dresses that catch the light just right. Their confident expressions and graceful stances invite a moment of pause and appreciation, as if they’re gently telling you to take notice.
The composition captures not only their iconic style but also the vibrant energy of the gatherings their music inspired—the coming together of people, rhythm, and culture in a shared celebration. I combined oil paint with collage elements, layering in rhinestones and glitter to give the piece texture and a little sparkle—details that echo the glamour and dynamic spirit these women radiate. The bold outlines keep the scene crisp and lively, while the partly hidden text at the bottom adds a playful, modern twist that feels fresh without taking away from the timeless elegance above.
This piece is a tribute to The Supremes’ style, strength, and the way they changed the spotlight for women in music and culture. Creating this work was all about blending nostalgia with a contemporary touch, and the collage technique gave me a chance to experiment while still honoring the classic visual language that made these icons unforgettable.
