Alexa Meade Biography

Alexa Meade is one of the most popular and richest Painter who was born on September 3, 1986 in Washington, Washington, D.C., United States. Visual artist and painter who is known for her transformations of three dimensional subjects into two dimensional abstractions.

She has painted several famous subjects including Sheila Vand and Maiara Walsh.

In 2009, an assignment in an elective art class at Vassar College sparked Meade’s curiosity. She decided to explore space and light through the idea of putting black paint on the ground where the shadows were cast. She later expanded the concept by making a grayscale “mapping of light” with paint on the human body. In so doing, she realized that she had made the three- dimensional form appear to be a two-dimensional painting. The results of these experiments changed her perspective and inspired her to reevaluate her career goals. Despite having grown up surrounded by the political culture of Washington D.C. and initially planning to enter that field herself, as Meade says, “I just felt like even though this was supposed to be my dream, it didn’t quite fit with who I thought I was on the inside.”

Meade was born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Chevy Chase, Maryland. She graduated from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 2009, with a bachelor’s degree in political science. Initially planning on a path in politics, she interned for congressmen and senators on Capitol Hill, and then worked as a press assistant on Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.

She was born and raised in Washington D.C.

Alexa Meade (born 1986) is an American installation artist best known for her portraits painted directly onto the human body and inanimate objects in a way that collapses depth and makes her models appear two-dimensional when photographed. What remains is “a photo of a painting of a person, and the real person hidden somewhere underneath.” She takes a classical concept – trompe l’oeil, the art of making a two-dimensional representational painting look like a real three-dimensional space – and does the opposite, making real life appear to be a painting.

In 2018 Meade painted on singer Ariana Grande for her music video God Is a Woman. Grande’s music video director Dave Meyers had seen Meade and Sheila Vand’s project Milk: What Will You Make of Me? (in which Vand, bodypainted by Meade, lay in a tub of milk, the colors of the paint eventually dispersing and creating patterns throughout the milk) and approached both artists with the idea of bodypainting Grande in a milky pool of paint. The piece shows Grande, nude except for Meade’s paint in shades of lavender, blue and white, floating in a pool as the colors swirl around her. Allure called it “Some of the most gorgeous imagery…striking, empowering.” Meade’s painted aesthetic set off a beauty and makeup trend, as thousands of people created inspired tribute art.
