Hyper-Realistic Acrylic Body Painting

Alexa Meade masterfully mixed multiple disciples - paintings, performance, and photography and turned it into something the world had never seen. Coating her models with paint, she made her models become part of a living, breathing painting.
In her words, "The photographic presentations create a tension between the smoothness of the physical photographs and the tactility of the painted installations captured within them, blurring the lines between what is depicted and depiction itself."

Taking a look at her recent body of work, you can’t help but see how she’s taking her Trompe-L’Oeil painting technique to new heights, adding incredibly vibrant colors and patterns that warp our minds and sense of reality even more.
