An artist from Indonesia whose name is Veri Apriyatno - in Russian transcription sounds unintentionally comical, draws himself a lot. A unique feature of his work is the combination of a hyper-realistic manner and insane endless reflections of his own figure, which serve as a neatly main plot.
Creativity Neatly enjoys steady attention from connoisseurs of art and receives excellent reviews. The Indonesian artist manages to say something new with each new work within an extremely narrow framework that he builds for himself: these are almost always black-and-white surreal self-portraits.
Like the work of other masters of optical illusion, the work of Aptly presupposes, among other things, a scientific interpretation. A mysterious, multidimensional space, in which Neatly "lives" as a "lyrical hero" of his own paintings, makes viewers think about what is infinity and what is personality. Here you can find parallels with the work of the classics of surrealism, and, for example, with the works of Jorge Luis Borges.
All his new works neatly publishes on the Facebook page. There you can get acquainted with other facets of the Indonesian's talent: in addition to his signature crazy self-portraits, he lays out pencil sketches with images of other people, colorful color and mystical black-and-white photographs.
Its graphic quasi-realism neatly resembles a Nigerian artist Kevin Okafor, about which we already wrote a little earlier, and the creative concept - the Dutch classic Maurits Eschera … One of Neatly's works - where we see the artist painting his own leg - directly refers to the famous work of Escher, in which two hands paint each other. Like Escher, Neatly can to some extent be attributed to the direction of "optical art", or op-art. However, even within the framework of a rather narrow concept, the Indonesian manages to be diverse and always interesting.
