His works constitute elemental transfers �" modifying the face as object �" combining it with other stylistic elements to create a third visual object with a large 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. Giving familiar elements such as a ballpoint-line a new context results in a confusing conflict between the objects normal associations and the new values given it in this new context. The author and object of these elemental transfers , Levi van Veluw explains his method: “I sit in front of a mirror with several objects and ideas. That day, the process takes shape, and slowly I create a new object I find interesting.” http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Levi-van-Veluw-Ballpoints/184198 Levi van Veluw´s photo series are all self-portraits, drawn and photographed by himself: a one-man-process.

Past pieces have been termed ‘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 created is therefore 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. In his latest photographic series, the visibility of this creative process is reduced. Under the working title ‘Light', Van Veluw has 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. Since having graduated from the Artez Art School in Arnhem the Netherlands, Levi van Veluw has enjoyed a remarkable amount of success in a short period of time, with his work being showcased in several different locations across Europe the States and China, earning him a number of prestigious awards that include the Photographer of the Year Award at the IPA International Photo Awards in the USA. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Levi-van-Veluw-Light/184201 Press release "Light" The work of Levi van Veluw constitutes series of self-portraits, drawn and photographed by himself: a one-man-process.

In English the word "monumental" is often used in reference to something of extraordinary size and power. The word comes from the Latin "monere," which means 'to remind' or 'to warn.' http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Monere/184648 Title: Monere the purpose of monuments is very often to impress or awe.

Material Transfers The Material Transfer series were all completed and photographed within a time frame of 24 hours and without any digital manipulation. Giving familiar elements such as cheap carpet, pebble stones and sterling wood a new context results in a confusing conflict between the objects normal associations and the new values assigned to it in the works. Levi van Veluw interrogates the attributes of daily life. Although it seems as if the actual material is the object of his observation, it is in fact their metaphoric use in daily life what interests him most: the signification people attach to the things that surround them.

We warmly welcome you to join us at the opening reception of this eagerly anticipated show on Saturday the 1st of March from 4 to 7 pm, at which the artist will be present. Levi van Veluw´s photo series are self-portraits, drawn and photographed by himself: a one-man-process.

The image contains the history of a short creative process, with the artist shifting between the entities of subject and object. In this exposition van Veluw will showcase his latest series 'Landscapes'. This 4-piece series 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. Besides the four landscapes, Levi van Veluw will also present a new video piece, landscape installation and works from two other series of photographs.
