Body Artists & Ironman

Ironman, one of the oldest international race gathering 38 countries, has been settled in New Zealand in Taupo and was held this year on 6 March 2010.

Body Artists (most of them winners of the NZ Body Art Awards 2009) were invited to contribute to the award ceremony with a colourful catwalk of painted models. After more than 5 hours of body painting - with dancers as models- the artists once again showed their capacity to make a unique and amazing show, thanks to their amazing skills - the theme was the representation of the countries participating in the competition.

The show was a success with great audience appreciation and the audience definitely appreciated it.

Body Art can also be the very special icing on the cake at your event! Do not hesitate to contact us directly via our contact form.

Fur & Feathers 2009

Taking place in Taupo on September 26 & 27 - thereby also hinting at the NZ Festival of Body Art in February 2010 there - Fur & Feathers 2009 was an extravaganza event with a great show where an emphasis was placed on 'walking art' through body painting, though some prothetics were also incorporated in the overall design. 9 participating artists created a marvelous show on a 15 meter long catwalk. With the addition of lighting and music, the audience was able to expierence a taste of Auckland's NZ BodyArtAwards in Taupo - with the addition of special Fur & Feather designs.

The Fur & Feathers Show was part of the Sika Competition for young artists who designed clothes out of furs and feathers. In addition to that, there was the Wild Food Taupo 2009 showcasing the natural products of mother earth in a taste, smell and feel style. The body artists were able to contribute excellently to the success of the weekend with this show, proving that the corporate work of Body Art Awards NZ (next to our private work) is indeed something very special for every event!
