Chadwick Gray and Laura Spector: Cleopatras Feast, after Jordeans, Detail Eyes Open Detail


Artists Chadwick Gray and Laura Spector paint historic artworks on the human body which create the body of work titled, Museum Anatomy. Gray and Spector have a very unique place in art and have amazing talent with Gray painting the canvas and Spector, the painting on the person.  The human body is very intriguing when you look at it with all of these paintings on it because it adds another element of interest to viewers.  I am inspired to create a project that is as cohesive as this painting on a human by Chadwick and Spector. In essence, the photographs of their work reveals a unification of art combining history and technology in modern way.
It is very fascinating at first when looking at this painting on a person because your eye travels everywhere it is drawn.  Also, it feels like a puzzle and every little painting has significance and relevance to something in history. The most amazing thing I see when looking at this painting on a human is whether the human body parts painted are an artwork or if artwork is on a human body parts. Overall, the multiple themes, abstraction of painting, and visual creativity of this painting on a human by Chadwick and Spector is astounding and inspires me to be more creative and look at combining concepts in a cohesive way.
