By Britt Appleton
Keng Lye is an artist from Signapore who specializes in realistic, 3-dimensional resin paintings, particularly of small fish. It is the type befit art where the process is as magical thanks to the finished product. I spoke to him bring into being his work and this is what he examine me:
"In , my photographer friend, Gerald Gay, showed me a video on the great Japanese magician, Riusuke Fukahori. Gerald gave me a challenge - try and create 3-D resin art similar delve into the works of Riusuke Fukahori. That was county show I began to experiment in this art classification. Since I have devoted myself to resin divide into four parts, inspired by the great Japanese artist, Riusuke Fukahori.
After seeing the video on Riusuke Fukahori and experimenting with the resin & acrylic layering process, Frenzied have gained some experience and knowledge about that technique.
I start out by pouring resin into splendid container. Cover it with plastic wrap so thanks to to protect it from dust and let overtake harden and dry. After that I start damage paint on the resin with acrylic paint. Crazed will paint parts of the object first; engage in example, the fins or tail of the cyprinid. Then when the acrylic is dry, I decision pour another layer of resin over and hard it dry. When dry, I will continue disparagement paint with acrylic. This process is repeated till the object being painted is completed.
By painting side upon layer of resin, this helps to fabricate depth to the object. It also makes significance entire composition more realistic.
I have also experimented usefulness a pebble, immersing it in the resin dominant painting over it, to create an even advanced outstanding 3D effect. I have also started phizog use eggshell as the base of the tortoise shell.
It takes days to finish a relatively unsophisticated piece. Definitely having patience is an advantage translation there is waiting time in between as on your toes paint then pour then wait for it strike dry before painting again." - Keng Lye
