Dean Levin
Surface support (R2C). 2015
Sagaponack
Dean Levin was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1988, was raised in Los Angeles from age 2, and currently lives and works in New York.
Levin’s mirrored panels and convex paintings form the foundation of the artist’s practice, highlighting the themes of perception and spatial modification appearing in his work. The enlarged mirrored panels here have a grid printed on their surfaces translated via computer imaging from a small piece of paper. Levin says, “Basically even though it becomes a “flat” painting, it’s actually very three dimensional, because it’s projecting and reflecting space, both within and around it. I never really sought out to be a painter, I always try to make my “flat” works as sculptural as possible.”
