Title: The Living Canvas
Date: 2024
Medium: Bodypainting (paint on body, photography)
Models: Léa and Kenny
Dimensions: variable
Description: The Living Canvas is an exploration of bodypainting as a way to reinvent the nude model, a subject I consider largely overused in the history of painting. By painting directly onto the body, I aim to subvert traditional codes of representation and create a space for plastic experimentation. The accidental gestures of paint on skin give rise to unexpected formal discoveries, where the flesh becomes a living, ever-changing pictorial surface.
