Simon Levy

“Levy’s incursion into “land based” work is sculptural, with shapes so primary, that they evoke the organs and deep tissue of the innermost confines of the human body and being….” G.S. México

My approach to painting, printmaking, photography pigments and objects is inseparable from my work with the earth/tierra and the knowledge of the people who taught me how to cure and prepare it in cultivation and construction. A sentient reflection of raw materials and the world of identity, plasticity and globalism. S.L.
