If ever there was a defining moment in a career, for renowned body-painting artist Joanne Gair, it was painting "that suit" on Demi Moore. Gair allows us to see the human body as a canvas to be transformed - and she has worked with some of the world's most celebrated models, actors, and photographers to do just that. From a youthful fascination with the facial skin adornment of the indigenous Måaori people in her native New Zealand, to creating painted swimsuits on supermodels for Sports Illustrated or touring with Madonna, Gair's career has been an incredible journey. Her collaborations have resulted in thousands of extraordinary photographs for advertising campaigns, record covers, fashion spreads, music videos, films, and catwalks, and Body Painting showcases seventy of her most iconic images.
