Aerosol Couture: This surreal SFX exhibition uses the body

1 Dec

For 26-year-old airbrush artist Mab, art has always been political. Using the body as her canvas, the SFX artist paints the skin with vivid, surreal designs that are meant to serve as both a commentary on and a reclamation of the hypersexualisation of Black women’s bodies. From working with the Clermont twins to creating custom looks at fashion week, the young creative’s career has been taking off as of late, despite the fact that airbrushing was, as she previously told Dazed, pushed on to her originally.
