After substantial deliberation I believe the artist is one of the best I've seen in a very very long time. This work is groundbreaking.
This is true 3D art.

Interesting - presumably a twist. My first reaction was what's so groundbreaking? Then I looked for the twist. I think I've spotted it, but don't want to give the game away. It's a photo of a model or the artist wearing make up to look like a painting - look at the eyes and the hair (highlight the text in the gap to see my guess.) If I'm right it is indeed groundbreaking and clever.

This is really interesting, not only for the technique that is surely amazing, but for the implications that this artwork embodies...

I'm told she's the "first" to do this. But first doesn't mean anything in the sense that Howard is regarded as the first overblower.
I think we will see more works of art like this.

"I think we will see more works of art like this."
Some invovative street performer somewhere had to be the first living statue; there had to be a first Elvis impersonator too. - I think you're right.
She's a very talented woman though, if she could just do something about the eyes...

Turners watercolours would knock this into a cocked hat. I agree it's unusual but that's all. There is no actual handcrafted artwork remaining of this, only a digital image.

Ooooh -- Just saw Buddhas Flicker link. Much better than the one above. Very interesting. Her work reminds me of that of Lucian Freud.

Not bad i kinda like it,but have you seen some of the art work from one of our members, I thinks his name is Kyser or something like that sorry,i know i spelled it wrong but man his art work is totally professsional very tight details,But dont get me wrong i kinda like the looseness of the artist you showed.It has a style also that is good.

"There is no actual handcrafted artwork remaining of this, only a digital image."
Tooka - I'm not sure of your argument here. Is photography itself not an artform? Does there have to be something physical left for it to be art? (an odd stance on a forum devoted to performing music)

@MVLUN "Is photography itself not an artform?" Yes but are we looking at the painted lady or how well the photographer lit his subject, composed it etc?
My own opinion is that for true artwork there should be just one original unique piece which has been hand crafted. Photography is an artform but not a fine art form.
This has been argued time and time again, and there has never been a defined conclusion.
@Buddha. It was only live at the instant it was made. Not any more it's just a recording of a live event. Yes I like recorded music but would have enjoyed the live performance more.

There is a unique handcrafted piece of art however it only lasts for a few hours. Not unlike a work of art made out of ice.

@Buddha. "There is a unique handcrafted piece of art however it only lasts for a few hours. Not unlike a work of art made out of ice."
Exactomundo. After the ice has melted you have water. If you photograph the ice sulpture all we will have is a recorded image of the work of art. Is the record of the work of art a work of art or simply a record of a work of art.
OK. If Carter-Bresson photographed the ice sculpture it probably would be deemed a work of art and so the circle goes round and round. I wanna play my harp.
@Hobo. Panties? Explain please.

No! Water = white noise, before the notes have been extracted, ordered and played.
Eg before the water has been frozen and sculpted.

Well in this instance - the photography is part of the art. Perhaps not all her works, e.g. the installation work, or the performance piece (the guy riding the subway.
Look at the way the artist has painted the face (yes Lucian Freud does come to mind) - the black outlining effect on the nose - unlike some of her other works, this portrait only works from one specific viewpoint, the angle from which the subject is lit and photographed. You can't walk round it, that would destroy the illusion. The whole thing in this example has been crafted towards the photo being the lasting artwork.

its an embodiment of the digital age we are in. (See: Corel Painter X) Anyone can make a masterpiece digitally nowadays, thanks to wonderful programs like these. At first, i saw the hair, not the eye so much, it was the only thing out of place in the artwork stylistically. This work blends perfectly with photography as the 'giveaway pics' lessen the effect. Post production is done via saturation effects and contrast (probably in Photoshop) visible from the first one chris posted and the second with the model and artist together.... Very original, and should definitely have a following. Groundbreaking? eh, probably so in that it is well known with artists but not to laymen. and thats where it counts...

Tooka Photography is an integral part of artwork like this. The camera is a tool to create the image just as a paintbrush is a tool for the same purpose. Here are some other artists who use photography as part or the creation
http://www.sandyskoglund.com/pages/imagelist_fl/1996_03fl/index.html
http://www.ecosalon.com/andy-goldsworthys-amazing-works-of-art/
the art of Sandy Skoglund and Andy Goldsworty were created to be photographed. The resulting photo is the completed work.

I posted a picture of people seeing it in person.
If any of us were there, we could see it in person. It would be Live performance of a 3D painting if only for a short while. Almost like dance but different. It's art in person, in the big picture, in performance and in photography. Right?

I agree with Chris, this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. I'm a member of the Scottsdale Museum of Modern Art, and I sure haven't seen anything come through there recently that is anywhere as intriguing and thought provoking as this. Thanks for bringing this to my attention Chris!

you see it in two dimensions in a photograph. ask the man standing in front of the woman in the chair if he sees the same thing in this picture or in person... the effect multiplies in the pic. hence my belief that this medium was made for photography. look at the back side of the lamp, unpainted, not meant by the artist to be seen but at a particular angle, like in a photo. or a line at the gallery that passes by only where the artist want you to pass, like a magician on stage. surely, from the first pic, you can tell it must be work done directly for the purposes of completion with photography.
in no way does it distract from the idea it conveys, in some form this has been happening for a good while. an illusion in art:
a hand
three nudes
what set alexa's art apart is her intent on making real the imagery of a style of portraiture instead of focusing on realism. and it is, no doubt, top notch work!~

Yep, that one is my favorite also in picture on her website. More 3D than the first one, because it works under different angles. In the picture above, if the wall behind the woman continued on the left, you still would have the effect, and could take it as a guy looking at a real painting.

Last winter I visited an art exhibition of Finnish painter who used quite similar idea. She painted on the fabric that had holes in it and then took photograph of it. The effect was such that you saw picture that had part of it real and part of it painted - it had very similar effect than these pictures but it could also be used with landscapes.
There were also pictures of that set-up from different angles where you could see that it was actually painting with holes and the real landscape/person/whatever behind that painting..
I regret I can't remember her name anymore..
