This study aims to bring into question the awareness on the ``body painting`` in the existing literature that it has only to be put to use secondary and auxiliary to the othter field of art without finding its place as an independent genre of art. The existing approaches to the body painting has been dominated by the angles focused on the ``performance`` and the ``body art``. The performance-focused approach, in which body painting serves simply as a make-up for the performer, one of the elements of performance to help it communicate effectively its meaning and come to perfection, might be in itself lacking in the attention to the placement of the body painting as a new genre of art. In the body art-focused approach, the body art, although closely similar to the body painting in employing the human body as the vehicle of expression, is quite different from the body painting in that a body-artist ``acts`` by his/her own body while a body-painter ``expresses`` himself/herself by other`s body i.e. a model`` body, and in that it, coupled with the technology, even transforms the human body into the cyborg; it thus appears that the body art is not to provide the arguments for the placement of the body painting as a new genre of art. |
