Real

When you first look at the painting above, what do you think? Do you see the real life 3D person there posing? Alexa Meade's hyper-realistic acrylic body painting plays with making real life people into the realm of painterly expression. There are amazing possibilities for this technique - reportedly Meade wants to experiment more with video and other media. I can't wait to see where this experimentation will take her! I can't imagine she would get much income from this work in terms of selling art work - the works are more akin to installations/performance art.
