Moving paints

Everyone kows the eye can play tricks on you, but what the artist Alexa Meade does, brings this common known expression to a whole new level. With only 23 years of age this Washington D.C. local has stirred up the art world with her hiperreal art. Meade is able to make spectators perceive a 3D object as 2D painting, shocking more than once, a passer-by when the 'painting' in fact moved and talked. According to her webpage, Meade's work is a fusion of different techniques of art combining: video art, installation, painting, performance and photography. According to a Washington Post article, Meade had barely any art trainning, after graduating as a political science mayor and working three summers at Capitol Hill incluiding the Obama campaign, this unconventional prospect decided to make art her full time career. Giving the art world and its lovers a 'spin' Meade's work is truly something to admire. Therefore, I urge to look closely at these paintings and appreciate what an innovation looks like.
If you cannot get enough of this artist I recommend you look at her web page and to see her latest collections check out her Flicker page.
