Fake Painting Pictures: Your Body is the Canvas
Yes, you’re not looking at paintings! All these are real human models with acrylics in their bodies. They’re created by Alexa Meade, an American installation artist and are really amazing. She takes a classical concept—-trompe l’oeil, the art of making a two-dimensional representation look three-dimensional—-and works in an opposite direction. Her aim is to do the opposite, to collapse depth and make her living models into flat pictures. The result is walking, talking optical illusions, 3D paintings that confuse how the eye processes objects in space.
