I was clicking around the web this morning and stumbled upon the multidisciplinary work of dutch artist Levi Van Veluw. Please click on that link to see more of his astonishing work.
I am beyond blown away by this guy's fantastic work. He's a one-man-show: drawing, implementing, and photographing everything himself. From his website:
His works constitute elemental transfers; modifying the face as object; combining it with other stylistic elements to create a third visual object of great visual impact. The work you see therefore is not a portrait, but an information-rich image of colour, form, texture, and content. The image contains the history of a short creative process, with the artist shifting between the entities of subject and object.
He uses materials such as: carpet, ball-point pens, wood, moss, q-tips, and tape to complete these other worldly photographs. Again, I hope everyone will check out his site to see further pieces.
Discovered on pingmag. There's a great interview with Levi on that site.
The medium confuses the hell out of me and I absolutely love it. I honestly have to say, thank you for introducing me to some amazing artists.
