Levi van Veluw was born in the Dutch town of
Hoevelaken in 1985 and studied at the ArtEZ
Institute of the Arts in Arnhem.
Since 2007, Levi van Veluw has produced
multi-disciplinary works that includes
photographs, videos, sculptures, installations and
drawings. This varied body of work has
been showcased in many different locations across
Europe and the United States, earning
him a number of nominations and awards.
Levi first became known in 2008 with his solo
exhibition Landscapes at Galerie Ron
Mandos in Amsterdam. This coincided with him being
awarded the International Photo Award
in New York for the photo series "Ballpoints"
In 2010, the work of the artist was showcased in a
series of major museum exhibitions,
including the exhibition "Dead or Alive"
at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York,
the Museum of Modern Art in Arnhem and Ars
Electronica in Linz.
2013 saw the publication of the book "Origin
of the Beginning". This singular book is a work
of art in itself, published in an edition of 1000
hand-signed copies. The book, which is
widespread among collectors and enthusiasts,
provides an overview of the artist’s work
from 2006 to 2013, a rich oeuvre that includes
photographs, drawings, installations,
sculptures and videos.

"This four-piece series
reinterprets the traditional landscape painting. Plots of land, clusters of
trees and babbling brooks are removed from their intimate two-dimensional
format and transposed onto the three-dimensional contours of the artist’s own
face. A fresh and surreal twist is given to romantic landscape painting’s
obsession of recreating the world while simultaneously also being part of
it."
