Robert Levine is an American artist/sculptor, born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and currently living in Venice, CA.
Understated and crudely coated with resin, it rips through the posturing of the work surrounding it to make a fresh and clever statement about painting's proudly confused identity.
[4] Most recently, Levine exhibited at LSH CoLab with his work titled “Regular Painting”.
[2][5] Levine describes the collection by stating "[m]any of the objects I choose to paint are of the most ordinary things we live with – everyday objects; coke cups, a plain propane tank, a bike wheel, a painting rack for example.
The lack of expressionistic brushwork force me to make something interesting using the sparest tools – composition, material/surface, paint handling, color/tone, historical references.
