The wooden blocks are made by Levi and glued on the wall one by one. The works suggest a narrative world behind the abstract portraits. Portrayed in one piece is a desk, a table lamp and a bookcase. The edge of the table is burned by Levi van Veluw as he had an obsession for fire.
Looking at his previous work, such as the Landscape Series, I definitely see his signature of his formal approach to self-portraiture. His work remains fascinating due to his use of unaffected materials, patterns and textures on objects and people. The installations will be exhibited in the Ron Mandos gallery in Amsterdam.

Dutch artist Levi van Veluw created 3 rooms covered with more then 30.000 wooden blocks, balls and slats. In these life-size installation he draws memories from his boyhood bedroom, where he spent many solitary hours between the ages of 8 and 14. All of these objects including every inch of the floor, walls and ceiling are covered in the same material: 14.000 4 cm2 dark brown wooden blocks.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
