Singapore artist Keng Lai creates the three-dimensional artworks depicting the inhabitants of the underwater world by the reality. The drawings look so realistic that they can be easily taken for photos of floating in small tights, turtles, fish and shrimp.

A stunning 3D effect Master reaches with epoxy resin, acrylic paint and phenomenal sense of perspective.

Passing the stage of hyperealist painting, the work of Kenga went out of its framework and approached the sculpture.

Now it is experimenting with the use of additional, protruding from the picture of the elements, adding a new dimension to its bulk painting.

The work of the artist-Novator acquired many fans around the world.

The technique in which Keng Lai borrowed a Japanese artist Riuzuka Fukari, known to his talent to manage the illusion and perspective.

However, Singaporet did not stop at the classic approach of his inspirationor and went further - forced the representatives of the Water world to perform above the surface of the resin alcohol.

This is not another three-dimensional painting, the depth of which can be seen at a certain angle, it is rather a sculpture written by acrylic paints.

The process of creating volumetric masterpieces Long and painstaking - Keng Lai slowly fills plates, piles, buckets or small boxes with alternating layers of acrylic paint and epoxy resin, which can be applied a huge number of times until a satisfactory effect is achieved.

A time consuming occupation needs maximum patience and attention to detail, since all the elements of the image must be carefully applied and dry, layer on the layer.

For each job, the author spends a huge amount of time - an average month of daily labor.

With three-dimensional painting Keng Lay met in 2012.

At that time, in his 48 years, he had an education at the shoulders with a specialty "Graphic Design", the experience of the artist-director in advertising and the creation of his own company, but on this its development was not over.

Once Keng saw the video Ryuzuka Fukari, where he worked real wonders with paint and resin, and decided to repeat the feats of the Japanese. Initially, all his illustrations were "flat", and the depths of the image attached an ordinary layering of acrylic and resin.

In 2013, the artist became wondering if he would be able to raise his technique to a higher level and began to experiment with the possibilities of hyperealist painting, adding volumetric items into the thickness of the lacquer.

So once he turned on in his compositions depicting octopus and goldfish, ordinary fine pebbles, and an egg shell used as a shell for a turtle.

In general, the idea was to give the work of art even greater 3D-volume, therefore, at any angle, the picture was in the best possible way.

Singaporesky Skillic is confident that there are still many methods that can be used in art lying on the border of painting and sculpture, and is tirelessly engaged in their research.

Fans of creativity Mr. Laya remain only to wait for the emergence of new results of its activities.
