Flesh and acrylic

10/08/2012 by chicquero

“Flesh and Acrylic” is Ben Heine’s latest project (started in 2011). Ben creates abstract acrylic paintings on large wooden panels. The main idea is to create a surface blending the model with the background. Indeed, the particularity of the project resides in the fact that a living person is integrated in the artwork and is part of the whole composition. The end result is often wild and very colorful. Once the painting is finished, Ben takes pictures of it. The photos […]

Rather than creating representational paintings on a flat canvas, Alexa Meade creates her representational paintings directly on top of the physical subjects that she is referencing. When photographed, the representational painting and the subject being referenced appear to be one and the same as […]

11/11/11 stands for Uma

11/11/2011 by chicquero

Not a lot of people know that, but… the word ONE stands for the word UMA in Portuguese. Since we are totally in the mood for the 11/11/11 we thought it would be more than fair to celebrate this strong, powerful and special (who knows…) date portraying stunning actress Uma Thurman. Well… her name is Uma, she’s super unique, she owns a singular beauty and we thought it would be a perfect representation for this day, specially shot by amazing […]
