2D or 3D

"ALEXA MEADE PAINTS DIRECTLY ON THE SURFACES OF LIVE MODELS AND FOUND OBJECTS IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPACE, COLLAPSING REAL WORLD DEPTH INTO SEEMINGLY TWO-DIMENSIONAL PAINTINGS"

Wow! Alexa Meade's work is a fantastic illusion, either photographed or as an installation the 2D-like painting she does over a 3D live surface creates such a great illusion, really making 3D look flat. Other artwork she uses warped mirrors to photograph the subject to create an abstract image or photographs in water or milk for different effects. Her milk what will you make of me? collaboration is a great example of the illusion of dimension, bluring the edges of 3D and 2D. Wow, wow, wow!!

Living Street art

 
"Milk: What will you make of me?" is a series where the model is submerged in a tub of milk. The milk becomes a canvas for the body paint, creating a unique and dynamic visual effect. The series explored the nature of the female form and the creative process of painting on a living, moving canvas.
 


"MILK: What will you make of me?"
 
Using the same idea, turning 3D faces into 2D images, photographer Alexander Khokhlov and make-up artist Valeriya Kutsan together have created these images based on paintings. Check out his other inspiring artworks on his website!

Dear Photograph

Dear Photograph is a great website that lets people submit photographs they take of old photos from the past held up at the original place it was taken to link past memories with the present in a clever and heartwarming way. I love it when the old photograph really lines up with the present but you can see time as changed.
