‘light’ and ‘natural transfers’ by levi van veluw


‘light 1’, 2009

the dutch artist levi van veluw is known for using the human head as a canvas for his art. in his early
works, van veluw drew on himself with ballpoint pens, decorated his head like a miniature landscape
or covered his head in rocks. his newly released 2009 self-portraits are comprised of two series,
one using flexible lights and one using hair. ‘light’ features pieces of light generating foil which are
photographed in darkness to show the unique blue glow of the foil. the features of van veluw’s face
have disappeared and only the shape remains. in ‘natural transfers’ takes a different approach,
covering his head in hair. the hairs emanate from the top of his head and have been affixed to reveal
the full form of his face.
