International Skin Art Competitions

Stockholm Body Painting Contest

— November 26, 2008 — Art & Design
Art upon the skin continues to grow more popular, and as a result, international body painting contests seem to be too. The photos above are from Stockholm’s Body Painting Contest held last month, a first for Sweden’s capital.

Stockholm’s Body Painting Contest participants dazzled with their use of robust, fluorescent, and bright colors. Some artists went with animal themes, others a combination of nature and modern buildings, and the human anatomy as well. 

Artists are listed in order of the gallery photos:

1) Alex Hansen - 2nd Place

2) Bella Volen - 1st Place

3) Team Lo Jarel - 3rd Place

4) A-K Brexendorf

5) Einat Dan

6) Ekaterena Panova

7) Iris Sabbah

8) Pasi Ruuskah

9) Bert Verstappen

10) Heli Tikkan

Judging Stockholm’s Body Painting Contest would have been an impossible task for me because I think all of the body painters did an outstanding job. However, my favorite artist was Alex Hansen.
Trend Themes
1. Growing Popularity of Skin Art - There is potential for innovation in the manufacturing and supply chain of body paint products as the demand for these products continues to increase.
2. International Body Painting Contests - There is an opportunity for event planning companies to create and organize global body painting competitions that bring together different cultures and art forms.
3. Use of Fluorescent and Bright Colors - There is potential for innovation in the development of new types of paint and color technologies that could be used in various industries such as fashion, entertainment, and advertising.
Industry Implications
1. Cosmetics - Cosmetic companies can develop body paint products that are safe, easy to apply, and available in a variety of colors and textures.
2. Event Planning - Event planning companies can capitalize on the growing trend of international body painting contests by providing innovative and creative event planning services.
3. Arts and Entertainment - There is potential for the development of new art and entertainment concepts that incorporate body painting, such as immersive theater experiences or music festivals.
