About this event
Opening Reception: Saturday, August 6, 4:00-7:00 pm
Dee Levinson creates figurative oil paintings based on sculptures from all over the world. She utilizes her own photographs of the pieces she was most drawn to on visits to museums, trips overseas, and even local public statuary.
Levinson adds imagination and color to create a unique, captivating painting, saying “I think the main thrust in my painting is the use of color. The sculptures are vehicles to that end.”
The body of work for her August 2022 exhibition is entirely portraiture, with many of the figures being of royal background. Portraits include creative and expressive depictions of Julius Caesar, Philip Augustus, Tiye, Mother of Akhenten II, Marie de France, Emperor Harsha Vardhana, and many more.
