Geometric body painting by Yasmina Alaoui

The great interest of bodypainting seems to be the possibility it offers to directly ‘paint’ the reality (and what more perfect part of the real world than the human body ?) without, however, having to make any kind of representational work.
You don’t copy anything, you don’t try to imitate a model, or to reproduce on paper what you see. You don’t bother with representation anymore, you just put the paint on the bodies themselves, and the power of painting simply ‘shines’… In such case, the reality, the body, is used to its best potential in the service of the painting itself, not the other way around.

…even this little piece of cheese !
This is an improvised painting, its drawing was inspired by a doodle on the cover of You Deserve Nothing, a 2011 novel by the American writer Alexander Maksik. It could be an allegory about the rich accumulating unnecessary goods while refusing the poor (the grey mouse) to feed themselves. The bird could be a state agent. A scenario among others…
UPDATE : Take a look at the step-by-step creation of You dirty rat deserve nothing (the new title!), along with an other improvised drawing, and an other story, created from the same doodle…

Naoto Hattori was born in Japan, studied graphic design in Tokyo before moving to New York to study in the School of Visual Arts. Another computer artist ?… Not really : whatever one might think of a contemporary work of such graphic refinement, Naoto Hattori never paints with computers :

His work brings together street art, installation art and photography, and has been exhibited worldwide in art galleries and museums.
Ready to change your point of vue on our good-old-world ?

La Linea (“The Line”) is the character created by Italian cartoonist Osvaldo Cavandoli in the 70s.
La Linea remains the best example of how emotional a simple line can be ! And most of all it is a model of efficiency and simplicity for all sketch artists, beginners or experienced.
When Osvaldo Cavandoli (1920-2007) developed his interest in cartoons in 1944, he started working with Nino Pagot, who later created Calimero. In 1950, he started working independently as a director and a producer.
