Body art is an intimate merger of flesh and paint, an overlapping of two-dimensional designs on three-dimensional surfaces, a unification of an artist’s vision with a model's body. And, like so many beautiful unions, body painting is fleeting, lasting for little more than a night.
Trained as a traditional painter, Shannon Holt of Bombshell Body Art, started bringing her paintings to life by applying them to human canvases. In doing so, she conceals, accents, ornaments, beautifies, camouflages, comments on, and above all, changes our perception of the human form. Holt's work will be showcased this weekend at The Art of Kink show, during Fetish Con.
