Her art asks: Can you believe your eyes?
Many artists paint models, but Alexa Meade takes it to a whole new level. She applies paint directly onto living models, then photographs them in a way that tricks you into wondering: Is it art? Or is it real? For example:
‘Jaime’
Testing herself to see how quickly she could work, “I actually painted Jaime on her lunch hour,” Meade revealed of this portrait. Her model came back to work late and still covered in paint, she added — but since Jaime works at an art gallery, her coworkers took it in stride.
‘Blue print’ installation
Alexa Meade applies paint to a live model at Irvine Contemporary gallery in Washington, D.C. Meade called her work “a combination of things: It’s painting, it’s photography, it’s the performance of the model. What is most easily conveyed is the photo, the representation of the work, but it’s really only part of what I do.
“I prefer to actually do it in person so people can experience it in the round,” Meade added. Instead of seeing the work from “a fixed viewpoint, they can approach it from any angle. It gives the viewer a chance to enter that world.”
…If I ever wanted to die I think i’d just take one of those Radio Flyer wagons to the top of the hill and ride down it. Then again it’s not a for sure way to go…. Hmm.
I do like this picture though. It’s so lonely yet relaxing at the same time.

Isn’t that Bjork’s house?
That’s beautiful.
