What is the Skinoflouge trend?
Skinoflouge: Ironically, these works of art rely on camouflage to stand out. While camo is traditionally used to hide objects or people, these paintings have actually become viral for their visually deceptive qualities. Artists paint backgrounds directly onto the models to ‘merge’ them with their surroundings.
