With the help of Tom_NX...


Last month I was posting an uncredited picture, from something what looked like a weird bodypainting performance (I need a help with a picure!). The photo of a girl in tons of paint was really interesting and I was trying to find any information about that event (not to mention more pics), but came up with nothing. Eventually it was the user Tom_NX who provided a direct link to an old article on glavred.info site (Many thanks, man!).

Now we know almost everything. Almost! Picture is from the show of certain Gennady Gutkarts. His performance took place in Kiev, Ukraine in fall of 2016 and was inspired with legends about Nessie - a monster from Loch Ness. Well... White painted and half-naked model (the Nessie, I guess) was literally washed with litres of paint. It seems that she was a some kind of living brush, used to cover the canvas beneath her with random patterns. In the first post I was suggesting (rightly or wrongly), that the substance used to paint the girl wasn't even close to a cosmetic paint. Anyhow, this is how the "Loch Ness and Surroundings" performance looked like:










There's a bonus! Gennady Gutkarts did more performances like this. Those pictures were found on the web, barely described, with the date of March 2004:



Another single pictures without description. Searching for Gutkarts has led me to them and I guess they may be from the same project...



Looking for detailed informations about mr. Gutkarts artistic activities returns rather poor results. The only traces are his profile on Facebook, and some website... In any case, if you know something more - your comment is always welcome!
