David X Levine was born in Boston, MA in 1962, and has been living in New York City since 1998. Levine's vivid, labor-intensive colored pencil drawings range in size from the intimate to the monumental (10” to 10’). Mixing popular and high culture, Levine creates a formal vocabulary that inhabits subtle but lushly optical spaces, generating rich associations. All of the work has some kind of humor tempered with a profound seriousness.
