An American artist has caused quite a stir after her work was heralded for making live models look like still canvasses in an ingenious illusion

Alexa Meade, 24, has perfected the art of making real subjects look like still life - by painting directly onto her models with a background behind. The final result leaves the subject appearing two-dimensional.

The dazzling colour effects are produced on a base of steel and are achieved by heating the metal with oxy acetylene, hand polishing and finally spraying with 2-pac lacquer to provide a shiny protective coat. There are eight hangers attached to the back of ‘Equalizer’ so enabling you to change the orientation of this piece with the mood of your decor. Each Wall Art is individually hand crafted in-house under the watchful eye of the Artist and Creator Ricky Bower. therefore no two pieces are exactly the same. The colour and pattern differs slightly on every example, adding to the uniqueness of each creation. Metal Wall Art - Handmade in the uk
