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.
