The Amazing Self-Portraits of Levi van Veluw

 

I picked up the new issue no. 3 of Tokion magazine, and the last page featured an overview of the immensely creative self-portraits of Levi van Veluw. I first came across this fascinating project two years ago, but I feel this unique work deserves attention. You see, for a few years, this young Dutch artist has been creating self-portraits that transform him into the art he is creating. He is the model, the sculptor, and the photographer. More after the jump.

mirroring what P.F. had to say above, I've never spent so much time reviewing the images of a self-portrait exhibit.

the first images - the moss work - is some of the most extraordinary; a word i do not use lightly. there is some new aspect, detail to be found in each of these images. Levi's creativity is, at once, imaginative and captivating.
