Flesh and Acrylic Abstract Project at Moscow Planetarium

This is a Flesh and Acrylic project Ben Heine made in June 2015 for the opening of his exhibition at Moscow Planetarium (more info).

In Flesh and Acrylic, Heine creates abstract acrylic paintings on large wooden panels. A living person is integrated in the artwork and is part of the whole abstract composition.

When the painting is complete, the model seems to have completely evaporated. The end result is often very colorful, intuitive, wild and eye-catching. There is something choreographic about Flesh And Acrylic.
