If body art has become a common phenomenon in modern art and drawings on the human body are already a little surprising to anyone, then "Animal" body painting invariably arouses the interest of the audience. For the third year in a row, an unusual competition has been held in the Chinese county of Jiangcheng (Puer Urban District): artists from all over the world come here to demonstrate their skills in decorating … cattle.
The international competition this year was held on May 18, the date of its holding was timed to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the founding of the county. In total, the artists painted 48 buffalo. For body paint, a special hypoallergenic paint was used, each animal was painted by groups of artists from 3 to 7 people.
The competition was attended by masters from Great Britain, Italy, Germany, Finland, New Zealand, Vietnam, Laos and China. The main prize was 100,000 RMB ($ 16,042), awarded for the most beautiful drawing. This year the award was given to a team of local schoolchildren.
The tradition of painting buffalo has been around for a long time. According to legend, once a group of water buffaloes grazing in a field was attacked by a large tiger. The predator drove one of them, and a struggle began between the animals. The buffalo's body gradually became covered with wounds, blood and dirt mixed, forming frightening smudges. Buffalo was so scary that the tiger got scared and ran away. Since then, local residents began to apply drawings to cattle in order to protect them from predators. Gradually, this tradition grew into a popular festival held annually to celebrate the harvest and pay tribute to pets.
