Keng Lye is a Singapore-based artist renowned for his stunning three-dimensional representations of aquatic life using layers of resin and paint. His series, “Alive Without Breath”, showcases a meticulous process where he paints on layers of resin, creating a lifelike illusion of animals swimming in water. This technique, which blurs the line between painting and sculpture, was inspired by Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori.
Lye’s work requires a remarkable sense of perspective and an extraordinary amount of patience, as each piece involves numerous layers to achieve the desired depth and realism. The result is a collection of artworks that present a rich sense of depth and life, capturing the essence of creatures in a way that seems almost alive, yet without breath.
