2-TIMES • Art
Dan Levenson,
‘SKZ Forms and
Color Studies’
@ Praz–Delavallade
— 

“... the painter 
paints, the sculptor
sculpts, the
installation artist
installs and the
designer designs. 
A plural form of art,
a pluralism that is 
the consequence of 
the artist's aesthetic
approach that he
sums up with his
trademark ingenuity
and irreverence”. 

‘SKZ’: 
Dan Levenson’s
practice centers
on the State Art
Academy in Zurich
(SKZ), a Swiss
modernist art
school of his
own invention
— 
“I use Switzerland 
as a metaphor for 
the society in which
artists live. Little
Switzerland is
allegorical so I treat
both time and place
with a great deal
of license”. 

The exhibition: 
Is New York-born
Los Angeles-based 
Levenson's first 
solo in Paris with
Praz-Delavallade,
presenting a series
of new oil-based
color paintings on
linen, alongside some
of the artist's earlier
monochromatic works.
