Lev Gorn was born in the Soviet Union to a Jewish family. His grandfather, David, himself a painter, muralist and sculptor became his first art teacher. In the 1980’s, Lev's family immigrated to the United States and settled in Brooklyn, where Lev went to Yeshiva and then to The High School of Art & Design in Manhattan, and eventually to SUNY Oneonta, where he discovered photography. While on an exchange program at the University of Swansea, he auditioned for a play on a friend's dare. He got the part and immersed himself into a new art form that further deepened his journey as an artist.
Lev’s artworks are constructed from hundreds of photographs that Lev takes in different parts of the globe and then digitally assembles into single pieces. To build his pieces he employs an in-depth Photoshop process that he fine-tuned through trial and error.
Lev Gorn’s career in film and television covers over 50 films and TV series. He has played a number of standout roles in highly-acclaimed television series, such as the Emmy-award winning “The Americans,” “The Wire,” and numerous others.
