Levi van Veluw is a Dutch artist who uses his head as a canvas. His first pieces that I discovered were his Ballpoint series. I was also quite impressed by his Light series, where he covered his head with light generating foil. But this time he didn’t use his real head for these Veneer pieces. He used a cast of his head in almost exactly the same position as in his previous work. I’m curious to see how his work will evolve.
