The Makeout Project is an art series by [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tarotandreading) user Jedediah Johnson, known for his depictions of celebs like Jennifer Lawrence who is featured in the set of dynamic portraits. The Oscar-winning actress has gained attention for her acting talents, open and honest personality and is always one to persevere during times of scandal.

Jedediah Johnson's screen-printed art piece depicts Jennifer Lawrence in both black-and-white and colorful portraits. The starlet dons a fresh-faced look and slicked-back bob in the images that are recreated from [Dior's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-addict-1) ad campaigns.

The artist's works are inspired by [vintage pop art masterpieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joopiter) and are adorned with crimson kiss marks that are smudged all over his canvas. These elements add a suggestive and cheeky touch to his art pieces.
