There is something frightening and at the same time appealing in the living sculptures of 27-year-old British artist Emma Fay. Body art in conjunction with the flexibility of acrobats and fantasy of the artist using water-based paints, a brush and sponge, is transformed into a beautiful work of art. It is not immediately possible to make out the human body in the picture. First you look at the landscape and suddenly begin to distinguish someone’s arm, or neck. Or you look into the eyes of an amazing bull, and it turns out that it is perfectly folded back. Lovely people, temples are and wonderful people-insects are.

A concept artist has painted crockery onto contortionists as part of a launch campaign for Macmillan’s 24th World’s Biggest Coffee Morning. Participants of the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning will drink an estimated 5 million cups of coffee and eat 10 million slices of cake with the aim of raising more than £20 million for people affected by cancer.
