Live painting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Live painting is a form of visual performance art[1] in which artists complete a visual art piece in a public performance, often at a bar, music concert, wedding reception, or public event, accompanied by a DJ or live music.[2] The artwork which is created live may be planned or improvisational.[3] This live art form is often contrasted with more studied fine art compositions from the same artists, which are generally executed in an artist studio or other private space.[4]
Artists in a number of genres have performed live painting, including LeRoy Neiman creating a painting during the 1976 Summer Olympics.[1] In the 1990s and 2000s, live painting became a hallmark of street art and graffiti artists.
