Real People Turned Into Flat Images

Alexa Meade throws us in for a loop by skipping the canvas altogether and transforming a person into a flat, two dimensional painting. The Los Angeles based artist was slated to go into a career of politics when her dabbles in painting shadows provided a eureka moment that led her to doing art full time. The self-taught artist moved into her parent’s house to explore her newfound passion and practiced painting on inanimate objects such as a grapefruit, a plate, and even a fried egg. The optical illusion effect of her work is such that taking a picture of her subjects in any angle still preserves the undeniable two dimensionality aspect.
