LIVING ART - BODYPAINTING

LIVING ART showcases the most imaginative collaborations between the body paint masters who envision an alternative human form and the sensuous models who bring their designs to life. Body painting by definition is a transient, erotic, art form requiring patience, intimacy and trust between the artist and their living canvas. Like sand castle competitions, these creations take from 2 to 8 hours to complete and have a life expectancy of a few precious moments before being washed away forever. Professional photographer Patrick Parenteau documents the work of world class artists with fine art images. "Advisory" - although covered in paint, the featured models are nude or topless.
