LEVI VAN VELUW

Levi van Veluw is a multidisciplinary artist, he lives and works in the Netherlands.

Press release 2008 '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.
