Acrylic on Flesh by Alexa Meade

0
0

Alexa Meade is a young artist based in Los Angeles California. What makes her very different from many other artist is the fact that she paints directly on the surfaces of live models and found objects in three-dimensional space. She collapses real world depths into seemingly two dimensional paintings,

Her work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., Postmasters Gallery in New York City, Galerie Ivo Kamm in Zürich, and the Saatchi Gallery in London. Her portrait subjects include such individuals of note as Grammy winning musician Gotye.

“In some ways, artist Alexa Meade is a traditional figure painter. But she works on an unusual canvas: the actual human body. And she takes a classical concept — trompe l’oeil, the art of making a two-dimensional representation look three-dimensional — and turns it on its head. Her aim is to do the opposite, to collapse depth and make her living models into flat pictures.”PBS
