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 subjects include toys, candies, and a paper doll evocative of childhood pastimes and pleasures. Other objects in the composition lend more serious notes, perhaps… calling up questions of what may be ahead as the child passes into adulthood. The picture could be read as things collected by an individual, as a sort of memory box. At the same time, the objects allowed to overlap the painted frame might suggest that such memories are not wholly confined to the past but can, at least metaphorically, enter into our own present space.

« 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.
