Art with Acrylics and Epoxy Resin
Photo — Link
Singapore-based artist Keng Lye meticulously produces three-dimensional
works of art with acrylics and epoxy resin that lie somewhere between
painting and sculpture. Using a technique originated by Riusuke Fukahori
(see this video), Lye manages to produce the illusion of different
animals swimming in water. The time-consuming process involves pouring
resin into a bowl and then painting on top of it with acrylics, layer by
layer.
Lye's labor-intensive approach requires the utmost patience and
attention to detail, as each piece could consist of numerous layers.
Altogether, the carefully plotted and executed layers present a rich
sense of depth and life. After completion, the artist then photographs
each piece as though it were just a still of real, living and breathing
aquatic life in a bowl of water. Several requests have been made to
purchase work from this series, known as Alive Without Breath, though it
is currently unavailable. The artist hopes to sell some work, though he
says it will probably be through an art gallery and admits, "[T]he
problem with this kind of art is that it require[s] a great deal of time
to complete, therefore they won't come cheap." 12 more images after the break...
