Levi van Veluw (1985) lives and works in the Netherlands.
Landscapes (2008) reinterprets the traditional landscape painting, removing plots of grass, clusters of trees, babbling brooks from their intimate 2 dimensional formats and transposing them onto the 3 dimensional contours of his own face. Thus a fresh twist is given to the obsession inherent in the romantic landscape of recreating the world and simultaneously being part of it. The romantic landscape and self-portrait genres are combined as a means of re-examination.
In Light (2008) Van Veluw covered his head with strokes of light generating foil. Photographed in total darkness, the highly radiant bright blue light produced by this material, allow it to stand out as an autonomous object. Forgotten are the features of Van Veluw's face, only its shape remains discernable in the route that each stroke of light takes. Light becomes form and it stands free from any original subject. It is this invisibility of the production processes that creates the freedom in this image.
