Alexa Meade

Alexa Meade is a 25 year-old artist who has developed an approach to portraiture that involves painting directly on top of her human subjects in a style that perceptually compresses 3D space into a 2D plane. The project is a fusion of painting, photography, performance, and installation.

Alexa Meade’s artwork has been featured in The Washington Post, The London Telegraph, The Guardian, USA Today,  Spiegel, Repubblica, AOL.com, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, The Today Show, Al Jazeera, Nippon Television, NY Arts Magazine, American Contemporary Art Magazine, Art Daily, Art Info, Hyperallergic, Juxtapoz Magazine, Huffington Post, Slate Magazine, Wired Magazine, Nylon Magazine, and Elle Magazine. Her art has been exhibited at Irvine Contemporary in Washington, DC, Postmasters Gallery in New York City and at the Saatchi Gallery in London.
