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,
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.
