Festival Body Painting
As one might notice at a body painting festival, there's plenty of paint, a touch of toplessness, and some awesome artwork. Taking the human body and using it as a canvas is definitely interesting, but I had yet to see this interesting artistic technique up-close and personal. The Daegu International Body Painting Festival was the answer. There was quite a bit of excellent art; in fact, it was hard to narrow the number to less than twenty pictures for the sake of this post.
The term 'international' in Korea does not necessarily mean an international crowd. Quite a few special guests and competitors, however, were from beyond Korea's borders. Above is one of the American artists brought in as a special guest, Lisa Berczel. Surprisingly, she was one of the few artists to have any sort of promotional / marketing material - and thus is one of the few names I can associate with the artwork.
