Visage-Splattered Spreads

Jim Cowan Gives Paint Facials in a Contrasted Spread

The work of Jim Cowan is truly unique and completely surreal. This series features models painted entirely white against a white background, seeming almost invisible aside from splashes of color. The models look as though Jim Cowan has thrown blobs of paint at them, making for a fascinating composition.

Though I doubt these paint facials are any good for the models’ skin, they sure do look great. Jim Cowan definitely knows how to think outside of the box.
