April Street (born 1975) is an American artist acclaimed for painting and installation art. Street is known for her paintings where she begins with a private act of wrapping her body in swathes of fabric, and then choreographing herself dipping into various pools of paint.[1] She then covers her canvases with paint-streaked hosiery fabric, like flesh over bone, that exist in a plane between sculpture and painting, similar to artists Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse, and Carolee Schneemann.[2][3]
