The Extreme Face Art of LyleXOX
Equal parts Marie Antoinette, Alexander McQueen, and recycling bin, Lyle Reimer — aka LyleXOX on Instagram, where he’s amassed a devoted following — fashions face art out of little more than found objects and a hyper-active imagination. The Vancouver-based MAC make-up artist incorporates everything from morning cereal and children’s toys to shopping bags and the pages of Vogue into his towering, teetering, twinkling mixed-media sculptures that would give Leigh Bowery pause.
