Trina Merry is a Manhattan-based painter who uses body-paint to camouflage her models into their surroundings, in this case iconic New York City locations. She uses guerrilla tactics to create live painting performances on the street and documents them with photography.
We’d recommend you check out the rest of her work. Apart from her work in NYC (what you see here), she has traveled all over the world with her unique art, everywhere from Mayan ruins in Mexico to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Here is her work from NYC. Simply stunning:
