Why is the "body art" popular in the West so difficult to be popular in the East?

Body art refers to some artistic behaviors and creations related to painting, sculpture and photography. Body art is the external beauty of the human body. At the same time, it is obvious that body art is more than just exposing the body. This kind of naked body is not included in human body art, and human body art is beyond artistic appreciation.

Why does "body art" prevail in the west, but it is difficult to prevail in the east? The reasons are as follows.

In the category of body art, some non-artistic factors interfere, which leads to a vague understanding of body art. Some "pseudo-artists" play a marginal role in body art, borrow body painting, photography and other behaviors, and some wander between nude art and obscenity, resulting in a lack of comprehensive understanding of many people. Therefore, there is no clear and absolute standard for the so-called body art, which is difficult to be recognized and popular because it is not clear enough.

Body art is nothing new at present. There are many similar human photography and exhibitions. Occasionally, I have heard that there are body art exhibitions and body painting in a certain place, but such activities are rare, and many TV media will not deliberately report them. This has a lot to do with traditional ideas. In the eyes of artists, these may be an art, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they may be completely different. What is the definition of body art?

In addition, some body art does not misinterpret the definition of real performance art, which needs to be studied. No matter what art should be a healthy, thoughtful, true, good and beautiful expression, the current human body art can easily become a kind of "pseudo-human body art" if it is in the face of commercial interests.
