Alexa Meade | Acrylic On Flesh
Posted by Greg Weinstein | Filed under Art, Installation
Installation artist, Alexa Meade, takes the use of material and medium to whole new level with her “live” paintings. Using mainly acrylics, she paints directly onto human models and creates backgrounds of similar painterly style. The really interesting part is when she has her “paintings” step out of their frames and into the real world it creates astounding craft and great visuals.
Alexa Meade is an installation artist based in the Washington, DC area. Her background in the world of political communications has fueled her intellectual interest in the tensions between perception and reality. Alexa Meade’s innovative use of paint on the three dimensional surfaces of found objects, live models, and architectural spaces has been incorporated into a series of installations that create a perceptual shift in how we experience and interpret spatial relationships.
