An artist painting a paint directly on the model and creating a moving portrait

Normally, portraits and other person models take the same pose and remain stationary until the painter's work is finished. But the model to join artist Alexa Meade's work is difficult to move in another sense, it may be amazing at the difference from ordinary work. She does not draw the figure of the model, but paints the paint directly on the model, as if she adopts a technique to make it appear as if it were a person in the canvas.

Now that's what I call still life: Artist paints directly onto human models to make them look like canvases | Mail Online

Mr. Meade paints a texture that leaves paint marks of paint as if painted as a painting as a small accessory in the background, and when working on the model is over, we shoot the background and model together. By painting paint directly on the model and the background, it is a work that receives a strange impression when realistic things and people are born as if they are in a two-dimensional world and are watching .

I paint the paint like a makeup like a thin brush.


It is like this after the painting of the face is over. Hiding the eyes with painted sunglasses finally disappears humanity and I do not understand even if it is told that I cut out a part of the picture.


If you compare the feet that you are working on and the arm that you do not yet have, you can see that mannequins and composites are truly painted to human beings.


I have a deep shade around my throat.


And finally I will paint on my arms.


All the work has been completed, and the model and Meade who made it into existence in painting completely. As the model is indeed in the picture, as if you are watching Meade sight it will spread out a somewhat reality scene.


Meade who was brought up in Washington, DC and worked as an intern at the US Congress before starting as a painter. It is said that a special occupation called politician's PR has realized that she can make a change that strongly affects human perception by changing the surface appearance to her. On her site of introducing her activities, she said, "The impression that the audience received (from politicians) was disjointed by each person, but it personally interprets the information that has already been presented" It is said.

Other artists using techniques similar to her work are other artists who painted jacket photographs of the British band "The Maccabees", painted directly on the members of the band ·Boo RitsonIs known. Ritson's style has a considerably deformed feeling, while the finished person looks like a mannequin, she is making a work with a painting expression.
