The colour red is highlighted in the series of 50 artworks as Hendry pays tribute to the iconic Louboutin red sole.

Fifteen shades of wax pencil were used to create each painting. Christian Louboutin rendered its iconic So Kate shoe in colour crayon form for guests at the opening cocktail party to paint on white walls.
