Art – NAKED AMBITION

NAKED AMBITION

Paint A’Licious is a sumptuous collection of images by the famous body-painter, artist and photographer, Joanne Gair. Joanne creates a fictional beauty salon, where she invites us to experience our wildest dreams through paint.

Washboard abs can be achieved without sit-ups and an hourglass figure requires no liposuction.  By painstakingly painting her subjects – a process that takes many hours – Gair blends them (nearly imperceptibly) into the background scene.

Joanne says; “My wish is that our magical treatments will leave you tickled pink – or fire-engine red, cerulean blue or any hue from life’s vibrant palette. Your body will be rejuvenated, your soul lifted, & the world will see you in a very different way… once you have realized your desire, treatments can simply be rinsed away.”

With her incredible artistic skill, a team of workers and a cast of willing subjects, she has created a spell-binding collection of over 40 scenes of illusion, misapprehension, fantasy, beauty and charm.

Paint A’Licious, by Joanne Gair, is published by Andrews McMeel priced £9.99.
