ARTIST: Alexa Meade

Alexa Meade is an amazing new American artist who doesn't paint images of people onto canvas but uses her subject as the canvas instead. That's right, she paints directly onto people creating this amazing 3D art. Her subjects are free to move so the painting can be changed to any position. She has an upcoming exhibition at the Saatchi gallery in October 2010. Her work has been called "reverse Trompe-l'œil" (a technique where realistic images are used to create a 3D image.)
