Levi Van Veluw is awesome. He does all his work himself. His work is self portraits, and he uses his face and head as his canvas. The majority of his work has him applying things to his head and face to create his concept. By far, his most interesting series is his landscape series. He covers his head in model grass and trees, shrubs and animals. Another series he uses surface transfers. This means surfaces one would walk on, carpet, wood, and even gravel.
His concepts are so unique and awesome. There are so many individual aspects that go into each image, its hard to even say that he is a photographer. I dont even understand how he could do all this work himself. Not only that, every portrait looks near identical, making it seem like hes working with a manequin.
Whenever I see an artist that I blog about, There is always one thing in common. Theyre doing stuff that I wouldnt even be able to think of. All of their work is beyond my scope of imagination. When it comes to photography i cant seem to break out of a linear train of thought. Thats why all the artists I admire are doing things that are just plain unthinkable to me.
