The Visual Metamorphosis of Alexa Meade

Tuesday February 20th, 2024 , Artists and Works

While many artists over the past five centuries have focused their efforts on perfecting techniques for painting on flat surfaces, Alexa Meade has boldly embraced the opposite of this established tradition. With no academic training in art or painting classes behind her, Meade embarked on her extraordinary journey in 2009 after completing her studies in political science.

His artistic project focused on creating innovative techniques that would allow three-dimensional objects to be painted in such a way as to simulate the appearance of two-dimensional images. What makes this creative proposal of his interesting is the artful use of black paint and liquid latex.
This combination allowed three-dimensional objects to be transformed into two-dimensional visual compositions, requiring meticulous attention to cover human skin without forming unwanted cracks.
