American artist Alexa Meade, has perfected the art of making real subjects look like still life - by painting directly onto her models with a background behind, creating an ingenious illusion. The final result leaves the subject appearing two-dimensional.

Formerly working as a press intern on the Obama campaign, Meade has had no formal painting education.

Spending my formative years immersed in the world of politicians and PR led to a fascination with the possibilities of repackaging source texts and adding superficial modifications that would profoundly alter perception,” Meade said.

In my current work, I construct and then photograph ephemeral installation sets that feature an assemblage of found objects and live models, which I have covered in layers of acrylic paint”.

I paint the surfaces of the human subjects, the material objects, and the architecture of the installations so as to collapse the subject, foreground and background into one continuous plane”.
