We are no strangers to body painting, which has really appeared in people's eyes as an artistic creation for less than 50 years. If you trace its history, it is very long, it is almost close to the time of the appearance of Homo sapiens, and ancient humans would use some natural colors to apply to their bodies in order to show their identity and hide themselves.
With the development of recent years, body painting has also become colorful, from the way of creation and form can be divided into many categories, from the point of view of the part of the local body painting, body painting, and combined body painting, from the point of view of creation, there are also hidden, cross-dressing and realistic and other types of works appeared, almost every field of body painting has a leader.
Today, let's meet a very special body painting artist, her name is Alexa Mead, born in 1986, and is known for her graffiti paintings on human bodies and objects. Alexa Mead's work is even more special than other body painting artists, using a tool called "trompe-l."'il", a word translated into Chinese means "visual trap".
So, how does Alexa Meade, a body painting artist, design visual traps that deceive our eyes? I believe that after we see her body painting works, we will suddenly realize. Alexa Meade's body painting is like a two-dimensional painting, and if we look closely, we can see that behind these two-dimensional figure paintings are real models.
The paintings we usually see are the complete opposite, painters will try their best to turn a two-dimensional painting into a realistic three-dimensional space painting, and body painting artist Alexa Mead is good at turning three-dimensional space into a painting, whether it is a figure or an ordinary daily object, it will be transformed into a painting that looks flat.
In 2009, Alexa Mead, a political science major, was in an art elective class when she suddenly struck an idea that changing the shadows cast on the ground would affect the spatial perception of things. This little inspiration was later applied to the human body by her, resulting in this unique body painting painting. By intensifying the sense of shadows and brushstrokes, he succeeded in turning the three-dimensional into two-dimensional.
This deceptive body painting does not see any loopholes in the stationary state of the model, it is like a flat painting; When the model moves and the painting in his cognition "comes to life", it will surprise many people. Alexa Meade often invites people to interact with these mannequins, and even pushes them out into the streets, causing a sensation and onlookers.
Recently, Alexa Meade has created a lot of interesting body paintings, let's take a look at them, I believe this very deceptive body painting will make your eyes shine.
