Arik Levy: Manmade (Human) Nature
The solo show of Israel-born French artist Arik Levy features sculptural works which exemplify his belief that nature can be the inspiration of form as well as that form providing a new view of nature.
Hailing originally from Israel, Arik Levy (b. 1963, Tel-Aviv) currently works in his studio in Paris. His formation was unconventional, he studied at the Art Center Europe in Switzerland and gained a distinction in Industrial Design in 1991.
After a stint in Japan where he consolidated his ideas producing products and pieces for exhibitions, Levy returned to Europe where he contributed his artistry to another field – contemporary dance and opera by way of set design.
Best known for his sculptures, his installations, limited editions and design, Levy’s skills are multi–disciplinary: artist, technician, photographer, designer, video artist.
His work, including public sculpture, as well as complete environments that can be adapted for multi use, can be seen in prestigious galleries and museums worldwide.
