Alex Markow's latest image series boasts psychedelic backdrops and body painted subjects. Capturing Magnus Sodamin's 'Infinity Split' art installation -- exhibited at Primary Projects in Miami last year -- the photographer brings whimsical imagery to life.
Markow creates awe-inspiring visuals and manages to capture the spirit and energy of Magnus Sodamin's art installation through his still images. The body painted installation featured two models who donned dotted and technicolored designs. These subjects posed atop a backdrop that matched their body paint and were the stars of an unforgettable living art show.
The result is surreal and dreamlike, looking one part cinematic and another illustrated. This series will appeal to art lovers with an appreciation for otherworldly imagery and makes a viewer feel as if they are part of a living art exhibit.
