Alexa Meade

Recently an artist that caught my eye was Alexa Meade. Instead of painting subjects on a canvas, Meade makes subjects the canvas. She applies acrylic paints on human subjects and makes them appear as a painting.

It's absolutely unreal, and I love the angle that she takes in her art.

"I paint representational portraits directly on top of the people I am representing. The models are transformed into embodiments of the artist's interpretation of their essence. When captured on film, the living, breathing people underneath the paint disappear, overshadowed by the masks of themselves." -Alexa Meade
