"I Am Not" - Contemporary Surrealist Portraits!


"I am not a clown, it is this monstrous naive society that plays the game of severity for better conceal her idiocy" - Salvador Dalì -

Any fan of Salvador Dalì's paintings would get great pleasure from this series entitled "I Am Not" by Ruadh DeLone. Combining imagination and modern computerized image editing, this eccentric has created absolutely fantastic photographs.

Real life paintings!


Alexa Meade, a 23 year old Washington, DC based artist has a special talent. Where most painters make their paintings and other artistic work lively by trying to imitate a 2-D canvas into 3-D, Alexa on the other hand makes live paintings on 3-D objects and with the use of photography converts them to canvas oil painting, thus imitating life in life.




Alexa has innovated this new painting technique called Trompe-L’Oeil that compresses three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional plane. Her work requires a fusion of painting, photography and performance by the artists. In her approach towards creating this lively painting, Alexa coats her models with a mask of paint, that hides the body but at the same time makes it more artistically live. The models are then camouflaged with a similar looking environment and objects.




Together they give the impression of a raw 3-D oil painting, which is so clicked that it looks 2-D. The photographic presentation creates a bridge between the smoothness of the physical scenery and the impression of a canvas oil paint.
