Boo Ritson is an artist that has delved into the world of live art and has done it amazingly. Instead of using flat canvases, she chooses humans as a platform to display her artistic skills.
Ritson coats her subjects with many layers of paint, which results in them looking like authentic sculptures. When you look into their eyes, however, you can see there's an actual person under it all. Maybe that’s why many of her subjects wear sunglasses!
