Hypnagogic charcoal illustrations by Levi van Veluw defy the laws of nature

In his work, the artist often reverts to the underlying principles of these stories in which science, technology and the development of knowledge are called into question. He explains: "By creating an environment in which everything must be redefined, the visitor loses his hold and grip on reality. His senses and brain become over-stimulated, emotions and feelings are fired up. The visitor is hyper-aware of his surroundings and at the same time invited to become part of it."

Key elements to the pieces include grids, geometric shapes and desks. Together, they present a fragmented view of reality that is in some way familiar, and in another alien and sterile. Discover more at behance.net/levivanveluw.
