Bodypaint.Me is a creative crew of painters, models, photographers, performers, and immersive artists led by Matt Deifer. It is a collaborative space built around hands‑on work, shared craft, and the energy that happens when people create together.
Founded in Philadelphia in 2010, Bodypaint.Me grew through festivals, nightclubs, protests, music videos, large‑scale productions, and public art activations across the country. Our work has appeared in cities including Philadelphia, New York City, Washington DC, and Los Angeles, with features at venues such as the Wells Fargo Center, Webster Hall, and the Playboy Mansion. We’ve also been highlighted in national commercials, magazine covers, and television broadcasts across Europe and Japan.
What started as one artist’s practice naturally evolved into a crew culture. People learned, assisted, modeled, photographed, and helped build the work side by side. That collaborative spirit has always been the core of Bodypaint.Me, and now it is taking shape again in Charlotte.
We focus on:
• Craft over clout
• Community over competition
• Expression over ego
• Ritual over routine
Bodypaint.Me is a community‑driven project, a place where people create living, breathing art that exists only for the moment and becomes fine art through the images we make together.
