"Landscape", by Levi van Veluw.

Levi van Veluw says his photo series are all self-portraits, drawn and photographed by himself: a one-man-process.

His works, he says, constitute elemental transfers – modifying the face as object – and combining it with other stylistic elements to create a third visual object having a large visual impact.

NOT A PORTRAIT, SAYS VAN VELUW

Thus, the work seen 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.”
