A New Kind of Canvas

Have you been getting rain?  Most of the country seems to be and boy is it good!  Well....until it starts to flood and most people don't own a boat so, flooding can be a bad thing.  We have had tons of rain and luckily the last few days the sun came out for a visit.  We will have more rain coming so I have been getting what I can done around the yard.  Plant some plants, prune some shrubs, and check on my garden.   All is well here and I sure hope you are doing well and keeping safe there.

I always like introducing you to new artists I stumble upon here and there and this week I thought this artist was doing some really neat things.  Now...she doesn't use a canvas or paper but...PEOPLE!  Yes, people.  Her name is Alexa Meade and she has found a neat way to combine performance art and well art together to make some mind blowing work.  She takes a person and paints them into a scene she painted already to make a living person into artwork.  Basically, making a three dimensional person two dimensional that looks three dimensional.  Do you follow?  I know confusing but see the image below where Meade is working on one of her models.

Looks neat right?  It almost makes you question what you are really seeing.  Could it be expressionism mixed with realism?  But then look at the eyes of the model...you can see it is a real person sitting there being painted into the scene by Meade.  

Artists like Alexa Meade must have fun doing the art they do but we also have to remember that it takes a special eye to create such work.  There are tons of artists out there doing some great work.  So take some time and do a search on these artists to see what clever things they are thinking up.  Maybe, try something unique yourself.  It could be a lot of fun.

Go out and be the best artist you can be!
