Alexa Meade is an Installation Artist based in Washington DC. It is always interesting to see things done in a different way. That's what art is, creativity. It is not a new thing to paint in acrylic, it is not a new thing to body paint and photography certainly has been around for centuries. But Meade has taken these basic elements into a new realm of representation. When you look at these photographs, you are looking at a real person! Though the first impression is that you are looking at a painting, well, essentially you are. Meade paints her subjects in a way that is reminiscent of a lively, inanimate structure. Interpretation at it's best! It is easy to see how a conversation can quickly be struck and last quite some time when discussing her work. Meade's work can be viewed at the “Art of Giving” show in London this Fall.
Interview with Meade + more paintings, and her website.
