Spanish painter, Barcelona - Antonio Tapias renowned for using hair from his entire body to produce his artistic works. I went to one of his exhibitions in Barcelona 2004, called the Antoni Tàpies. Retrospectiva, MACBA, Barcelona (solo). Where the majority of his paintings was worked with the hair from his body.
