About this artwork
The painting is executed in oil on copper, cut to shape. The cutout work lends an air of illusion which is amplified as the painting, hanging just half an inch in front of the wall, casts its shadow as though these were three-dimensional forms and not just a cutout copper plate.
The painting combines objects drawn from somewhat different realms: toys, souvenirs, figurines, and ordinary household goods. The collection is displayed on a sort of… ad-hoc plaque/shelf composed of a couple of boards nailed together. None of the subjects are valuable in the ordinary sense of the word, but perhaps the attention brought to them in the act of close observation lends them a different kind of value?

« I am drawn toward a sort of illusion of the implausible. The logic of the dream is central to my work. »
Steve Levin is an established painter from the United States whose work has been exhibited in solo and group shows nationally. Working primarily in oil paints, Levin's still lifes are based on the format of a "curiosity cabinet": they contain detailed objects, both surreal and figurative, arranged in conversation with each other. The resulting pieces are full of depth and curious juxtapositions, leading the viewer to fill in their own narrative.
