Body Paint Illusions

Emma-Jane Cammack Camouflage Art

— August 13, 2008 — Art & Design
The body paint art of UK-based freelancer Emma-Jane Cammack is extraordinary. The artist extends her creative boundaries into illusionary artwork where the human body melds into the main picture. The subject is well and truly part of the background. You can see why this artist’s work is in demand for ads, billboards, magazines, film and so on. 

She says on her website, “As a bodypainter I am interested in celebrating the body and exploring how creative I can be using this exciting alternative canvas. I don’t think bodypainting needs to be about sex, for me a body is simply another canvas but one which can move and mold and has its own attitude.”

Her limited edition body art prints sell in galleries in the UK and USA.
