Hyper-realistic 3D Animals Painted by Keng Lye
Keng Lye is a Singaporean artist that paints hyper-realistic 3D animals between layers of epoxy resin poured in bowls, buckets, and boxes.
As each layer of resin is painted with acrylic paint a new layer is added, the effect creates depth giving the illusion of a three dimensional living critter residing inside the container.
“The diameter of the work is about 150mm (15cm) and maybe about 2cm in depth. I found that the most challenging thing, so far, is creating depth, seeing as the container is fairly shallow, in order to achieve realism in the work.”
