An innovative artist has camouflaged nude bodies by painting them into the worlds most expensive artworks. New York body artist, Trina Merry picked the 20 top dearest paintings, then photographed naked models disguised as part of the piece. The talented artist began her career in body painting after being struck by lightning, and has worked on thousands of human canvases since – while most session last three hours, her longest took a whopping 18 hours to complete. Trinas latest project titled Lust of Currency was sparked by Trumps presidency and his controversial plans to cut the National Endowment for the Arts.The passionate painter hopes to draw attention to the value of art and the booming market, which recently saw a Basquiat piece sell for 10.5million.
