Immersed in Wonderland

After debuting on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, Immersed in Wonderland by Alexa Meade, is now taking over a sprawling 14,000-square-foot venue in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. The Wonderland dreamscape invites people to don hand-painted costumes and travel through the looking glass right into the pages of Lewis Carroll’s timeless tale. Behind each door lies new chapters filled with endless curiosities, from the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, The Queen of Heart’s House of Cards, Down the Rabbit Hole Obstacle Course, the Psychedelic Land of the Cheshire Cat, and more.

“Immersed in Wonderland gives viewers a new way of experiencing a painting — the painting is no longer confined to the rectangle of a canvas, but rather it is something that now exists in three dimensions in a space that you can actually inhabit,” Alexa Meade says. Most art exhibits have signs that say, “please don’t touch the art.” Immersed in Wonderland says, “please be part of the art.” It turns a painting into a living, breathing thing that is constantly evolving with every new person.

After the experience, guests are invited to grab a drink at the Mad Hatter’s Bar shared with Rosé Mansion, featuring charming cocktails served in teacups and the largest Rosé wine list in the country. The experience is open for the public from March 13 – June 28, 2020. Open daily from 10am to 8pm, except Tuesdays. Tickets are available at www.immersedinwonderland.com

BizBash named Alexa Meade as one of the Event Innovators of the year 2019. Alexa Meade is internationally recognized for her style of painting on the human body to create scenes that look like paintings. The mixed-media artist makes use of optical illusions in her installations to turn real life people into seemingly 2D works of art.

According to BizBash: “Event producers in particular are drawn to Meade’s work because of the interactive nature—and the resulting memorable (and highly shareable) keepsakes. Alexa Meade: “For a live event, I know people are going to be heavily interacting with [the art]—touching, feeling, playing with everything. I have to make sure that everything looks good from all possible angles,” Meade explains. “[I make] painted garments that are flattering for all shapes, genders, and styles, so people really feel invited to be part of the artwork because it feels like it was created with them in mind.”

Meade attributes some of this success to the “otherworldly” nature of her approach. “It’s painted in a way that is just so far outside of the every day of what you would encounter,” she explains. “It’s not every day that you get to walk inside of a painting and be immersed in that world.” To read the full BizBash article, click here.

Alexa Meade – Coachella 2019

Alexa Meade

Alexa Meade is a mixed media artist best known for her portraits painted on the human body and set against painted backgrounds, that turn real life people into seemingly 2D works of art.

She takes a classical concept — trompe l’oeil, the art of making a two-dimensional representation look three-dimensional—and works in an opposite direction. Her aim is to collapse depth and make her living models into flat pictures. The result is walking, talking optical illusions, 3D paintings that confuse how the eye processes objects in space.

In corporate event settings her work can be customized to incorporate attendees, who have opportunities to photograph themselves within the artwork, and post photos for colleagues and friends through social media outlets. Within the art world, Alexa’s art has been exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery in London, The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in DC, Postmasters Gallery in NYC, and Galerie Ivo Kamm in Zurich, Galerie Ingo Seufert in Germany, and Galerie Edouard Mazel in Brussels. Alexa has delivered keynote speeches about her work at the Wired Conference, National Geographic, and TED Global.
