Body Artist Trina Merry Makes Motorcycles Out Of People in different yoga poses.link | via
Body paint artist Trina Merry transformed people into motorcycle sculptures.
To do that, Merry uses athletes because posing for five to six minutes at a time — over the 18 hours in takes to paint the bodies just right — is grueling work.
Human bodies were positioned in different yoga poses that formed the shapes of dirt bikes, sport bikes, and cruiser motorcycles.
Using hypoallergenic body paint, the San Francisco-based artist knows how to rework the old cliche of a hot chick on a hot bike.
“Everyone has seen the pictures of scantily clad women next to motorbikes and cars, and it can look a bit trashy,” Terry says. “I wanted to take the idea of a beautiful woman and the motorbike and turn it on its head by making the bike from the bodies of the models.”
