Alexa Meade’s real life paintings are so surreal and out of this world. She paints people and puts them in painted backgrounds. You would swear that it is not a real person. You can actually be part of a painting.
Alexa Meade has innovated a Trompe-L’Oeil painting technique that can perceptually compress three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional plane. Her work is a fusion of installation, painting, performance, photography, and video art.
Rather than painting a representational picture on a flat canvas, Meade paints her representational image directly on top of her three-dimensional subjects. The subject and its representation become one and the same. Essentially, her art imitates life on top of life.
