Check out the hyper-realistic body art of Chooo-San. Using acrylic paint, 19-year old Japanese
student and artist Chooo-San has transformed the bodies of herself and a
handful of lucky volunteers into ones that appear to be from another planet.
Bored with technology, she wanted to see how far she could go with
creating eye-catching illusions in the real world, rather than relying
on programs like Photoshop.
Amazing efect created by teenager Chooo-San.
Camouflage body art.
The hand painting above is painted
by the talented London-based body painter Annie Ralli. Photographed by
Ray Massey, this hand illusion is part of an advertising campaign for
Ecclesiastical Insurance, a niche insurance company using the byline
“You're in good hands.”
Another work from Annie Ralli.
What's that? You always wanted a third eye? One or two in the back of
the head would be super useful, but would you settle for one in place of
your mouth? Probably not. Although, with this creative and creepy lip
makeup by Swedish makeup enthusiast Sandra Holmbom, one could at least
test it out. The illusory look for lips mimics an eye, allowing it to
chomp away on whatever it is that you're eating. Thanks to the artist's
intricately designed iris and delicately applied eyelashes, a slight
part in the mouth adds to the mind-boggling effect that inspires a double-take and some fright in small children.
More of Choo San's work. What started as a way to procrastinate before her university exams (Chooo-San would start drawing eyes and other objects on her hands) has turned into very characteristic and viral drawings.
Alexa Meade is an artist who has developed a unique method for her
paintings. From the initial image above it looks like your
run-of-the-mill style of painting. Only when you understand what her
technique is can you really appreciate her talent. She takes real people
and applies acrylic paint to
them in order to create 3D-2D scenes. While bodypainting is by no means
new, what makes Alexa's work outstanding is how these scenes truly mimic
a 2D portrait painting done in an expressive style.
Alexa Meade is taking her Trompe-L'Oeil painting technique to new heights, adding incredibly vibrant colors and patterns that warp our minds and sense of reality even more.
