This Isn’t a Painting!! The Experimental Invisible Art/FakeArtRealistic Pop-Out Painting Human as a canvas-Alive Sculpture ‘pop-out' painting, which is like a ‘four-in-one' as it consists of painting, installation work, performance and photography. This type of painting consists of an under and top layer of colour. The top layer will have to blend into the picture and appear three-dimensional. And as long as the models remain still, or if viewing via photography, the models will look like part of the picturel My Art, My Performance, My Style, My Photography...
Konsep FAR Pop-Out melakar pada wajah dan tubuh model serta pakaian agar pada rakaman foto ternampak seolah-olah ia sebuah Lukisan.. FAR - bermaksud Fake Art Realistic merakumi Lukisan, Instalasi, Persembahan dan Fotografi.
