Andrew Levitas (born September 4, 1977) is an American painter, sculptor,[1] filmmaker,[2] actor, writer, producer,[3] photographer[4] and restaurateur.

[7] The New York Times declared that Social Impact Artist Andrew Levitas “has the Midas touch”[8] when describing his continued work across multiple creative platforms.

[10] Other works included in the exhibition are crumpled sheets of metal that resonate with John Chamberlain's mangled installations, inspired by the action Abstract Expressionist paintings that typified the Post-War New York School.

2012 highlights include a solo exhibition Metalwork Photograph: Sculptures at Phillips de Pury in Manhattan, as well as a ten-year retrospective Andrew Levitas: A Brief Survey 2002–2012 at New York University.

2014 highlights include the first solo exhibition ever presented at the highly anticipated Phillips, Berkeley square which included examples of Levitas's earlier two-dimensional artwork in which he successfully fused metalwork and photography, as well as examples of the artist's more recent works depicting crumpled sheets and three-dimensional freestanding installations, all made in his distinctive and innovative style.

Levitas' most recent sculptural work on environmental pollution debuted with a solo exhibition at The Goulandris Museum in Athens, where he was artist in residence in 2021.

The LA Times wrote, "Taken on its own merits — as an accessible if ahistorical dramatization of an environmental tragedy — Minamata does what it sets out to do very well" The Guardian called the film, "a forthright, heartfelt movie, an old-fashioned 'issue picture' with a worthwhile story to tell about how communities can stand up to overweening corporations and how journalists dedicated to truthful news can help them".

Everyone could do something and make their own contribution.” Prior to Minamata, Levitas wrote and directed Lullaby (2014 film) which stars Amy Adams, Richard Jenkins, Terrence Howard, Jennifer Hudson and Garrett Hedlund.

The New York Times wrote “The White Crow is a portrait of the artist as a young man, an attempt to show the complex array of factors — biographical, psychological, social, political — that led to the moment when the 23-year-old dancer made a decision that would change the history of ballet: Nureyev became Nureyev by defecting from Russia to the West at Le Bourget airport in France in June 1961… Throughout [the film], Fiennes and Hare suggest the extraordinary will and curiosity that drove Nureyev to dance, and to seek out art and culture wherever he could.”[25] Levitas brought to life director Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje’s own story in Farming .

Screen Daily wrote of the film, “Actor turned director Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje makes an arresting feature debut with Farming.

Told with raw emotion and lurid violence, it transforms elements of his life story into a disturbing, eye-opening coming of age drama.”[26] Farming premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival on 8 September in the Discovery Section.

[30] IndieWire raved that “Delpy’s ability to believe in both her audience and her wild story remains compelling throughout the film... Delpy earns every minute of the story, one that shows off her ability (and desire) mix things up with a fresh eye.”[31] Levitas produced 2019 film Georgetown from Christoph Waltz in his feature directorial debut.

[32] The Hollywood Reporter praised the film, noting that "it's the kind of serious but broadly appealing, modestly scaled picture that people love to say doesn't exist any more.

With offices in London and New York, his company supports and empowers remarkable and innovative creatives to ensure compelling, positive and commercially driven product.
