Arik Levy
Arik Levy’s expansive body of work spans sculpture, design, photography, video, and painting. Levy’s practice resists categorization. It
moves fluidly between disciplines, cultures and is underpinned by a deep interest in human emotion, perception, and space. As Levy
himself puts it, “the world is about people, not objects.” Born in Israel in 1963, Levy’s early creative life was unconventional.
Surfing lead him to set up a design studio while still in his home country. After a graphic exhibition in Tel Aviv in 1986, he
relocated to Europe, eventually studying at Art Center Europe in Switzerland, where he received his BS with distinction in 1991.A
pivotal period in Japan followed, where Levy deepened his engagement with minimalist design principles and cultural approaches to
simplicity, precision, and purpose. These influences continue to echo through his work, which balances conceptual rigor with emotional
intuition. His process is both analytical and instinctive, exploring how objects, environments, and experiences intersect. Whether
through large-scale sculptures in urban plazas or immersive interior installations, Levy seeks to create meaning through form,
encouraging viewers to feel rather than simply interpret. His work has been exhibited widely and installed in public spaces
in London, Paris, Venice, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Tel Aviv.
