Eye-Popping Human Art

The 2013 World Bodypainting Festival is Elaborately Otherworldly

— July 30, 2013 — Art & Design
If someone stumbled upon the 2013 World Bodypainting Festival without a clue as to what was happening, he or she may have run off screaming something like, 'Aliens! Aliens!,' to the chagrin of those participating and attending. Of course, that reaction is understandable considering the otherworldly costumes on display. More than costumes, the painted bodies are works of art that could be put on display in a gallery.

Held earlier this month in Pörtschach am Wörthersee, Austria, the 2013 World Bodypainting Festival marked the 16th year of the event. Comprised of such categories as brush-sponge bodypaint, airbrushing, special effects bodypainting and face painting, the artists from 40 countries competed against each other to create the most eye-popping human art on earth. Elaborate and exotic, they will take anyone's breath away.
Trend Themes
1. Bodypainting as Fine Art - The trend of bodypainting as a form of fine art is on the rise, creating opportunities for artists to showcase their skills in galleries and museums.
2. Special Effects Bodypainting - The trend of special effects bodypainting is disrupting the beauty industry, offering new possibilities for creative expression in makeup artistry.
3. Global Bodypainting Competitions - The trend of global bodypainting competitions is creating a platform for artists from different countries to showcase their talent and inspire innovation in the art world.
Industry Implications
1. Art Galleries - Art galleries can leverage the trend of bodypainting as fine art by hosting exhibitions and collaborating with bodypainting artists to attract a new audience.
2. Beauty and Cosmetics - The beauty and cosmetics industry can embrace the trend of special effects bodypainting by incorporating innovative techniques into their product offerings and marketing campaigns.
3. Event Management - Event management companies can tap into the trend of global bodypainting competitions by organizing and hosting these events, attracting participants and spectators from around the world.
