Body Painting Video — The Making of Kryolan 2011 Calendar: Unique Gallery of Modern Art

I just received the new video from Kryolan Professional Makeup on the making of their 2011 calendar. Every year, Kryolan puts out a large format calendar featuring makeup art and body painting. 2011 featured body paintings inspired by famous 19th and 20th century artists, created by a Natalia Pavlova’s Team of artists from Russia (with Anastasia Malysheva and Juliana Mahtyuk) under the direction of Elena Samarina, the head of the Arte-Grim Company, distributor of Kryolan products throughout the Russian federation. The video is also a tour of the extensive line of Kryolan products, including those beautiful big aluminum makeup cases they make.

Paper Costuming:  there was also an article on making the calendar in Kryolan’s Make Up International magazine, Issue 8/2011, which included the fascinating information that all the costume pieces and prosthetics were made out of paper: “It is a supremely adaptable product, it takes the colors perfectly and can be fashioned to create a broad variety of textures and shapes and to add volume to the final image…each article of clothing—and sometimes even the wigs—were created from paper.”

The use of costume pieces, such as the frills on the Degas painting, gives an enjoyable playfulness to these paintings.
