What is body painting?
It’s probably already obvious that body painting is the art of painting on the body. But first it arose as an art form - a little provocative and shocking for the 60-70s of the twentieth century. Nude models, dressed only in a layer of paint, could not leave critics, innovative artists, or viewers indifferent. At first it was just an artistic direction in art. But over time, the authors of the idea and their followers realized that this art could become widespread and even commercial. And although not every one of us will dare to walk naked in nothing but paints, many people appreciate the elements of body painting.Over time, new directions for this art appeared for us. Although new to us, they turned out to be traditional for India, Libya, and many African countries.
Types of body painting
Since body painting is painting on the body, there are at least several techniques for performing such painting. Special paints, as well as henna and basma, can be used for this. This type of painting with ornaments is called mehndi. In India, mehndi is applied to the hands and feet of the bride before the wedding; these ornaments serve as amulets for the newlyweds.Among modern and extreme types of body painting, tattooing is popular, including simulating makeup, scarring - trauma to the skin, which will leave behind scars arranged in a pattern. An Even More Extreme Kind of Change appearance- implantation. For example, metal balls or spikes under the skin. However, there is a risk of rejection of such implants. Or modification - when the shape of the skull and other parts of the body is changed through surgery.
Piercing is also popular among young people. Although it is difficult to call it, like previous methods, painting, they are nevertheless classified as types of body painting.
