I found the artist, Alexa Meade, to be extremely interesting. She actually graduated school as a political science major, but has recently branched out into a new genre of painting. She actually applies acrylic paint to people and objects/surroundings directly. She does this using large visible brushstrokes - emphasizing that it is paint on these people/objects/etc. Then she positions these people in areas and photographs them. The effect is very surreal because it really does look like the person she painted is an object in an actual painting instead of a real life person. It's very confusing to look at because your mind does want to believe these are actual paintings...then you realize they're not. Awesome!
