Smooch and Smack are two small oil and lipstick paintings which continue the theme of Under the Surface, focusing on the piranhas and their lips covered in lipstick. This is a humorous reference to Kate Mosse’s "Lipstick kiss" that was auctioned for £60,000 to Philip Green in 2006, speaking of how beauty and sex are consumed and commodified. At the same time, Tomlinson is commenting on an article about a beluga whale’s lips being covered in lipstick to amuse visitors in an aquarium – a disrespectful and violent gesture towards the animal.
