Be interesting to know what she's after with this technique - an interview with her would be interesting. As it is, I can see it's a clever trick, but it doesn't seem to add anything to what you'd get if she just painted it on canvas.

For some reason she was showing up on German news sites several weeks ago. I checked the pictures then and I was pleasantly surprised about her style.

I think it's a cool idea and some works are absolutely stunning.

That's just amazing.  The blue man, especially is extraordinarily well done.  I've done some portraiture in my time, and it takes so long to develop the ability to 2-dimensionalise the 3-D person in front of you, I can't even get my head around the mindshift to apply 2-D techniques directly on to the subject.  Perhaps it would be easier for someone who has worked in sculpture first.

VERY clever and seemingly very original (at least I've never seen anything like this before).  I've sent this on to every painter I know.  Thanks for posting  Grin

It's an interesting novelty but the question why comes to mind. It requires an explanation and to see the work in progress in order to find it "amazing". If you were to just see the finished product hanging in a gallery your reaction would be "that's a decent enough painting I guess". So someone would have to be standing there to explain what it is in order to find it interesting.

Similar to a photographer I once read about in a magazine. He took polaroids and applied a series of dyes and I don't remember what else to create a very artsy look that could be easily achieved with about 3 mouse clicks in Photoshop using some pretty generic filters. He was very proud of the enormous work involved but without his explanation of the process it looked like a pretty cheap photoshop effect and so was pointless.

Very true.  Excellent points.  I certainly wouldn't have been so amazed if I hadn't been made aware of the process.

One of the (excellent, classical) painters I sent it to replied with 'kind of good to see once... but then I started asking myself "Why?"'

I still think what she's done is amazing, but I certainly take these points.

Interesting, I think, something I would expect to see in a photo/art gallery.  Not looking at it from a stock point of view.  Not something I would (or could) do.
Maybe the next Andy Warhol.   Grin

It's a whole lot easier than painting on canvas. With canvas you would have to reveal the subject, here she just has to daub some paint on a person. Not difficult.

Pretty cool. Just a gimmick and I agree, without being there live to see her paint on the person 3D it looks like just another photo of a painting. But pretty clever of her to come up with the style.

Nice style and creativity. Artist Alexa Meade, who lives and works in Washington, D.C., creates photographs that could easily be mistaken for paintings. I like 2 3 & 6 for the merged work.

You must be a lot better at shifting your brain around than I am.  Wink
