Arik Levy

Artist, technician, photographer, designer, video artist, Arik Levy’s skills are multi-disciplinary, and his works are shown and installed worldwide. Best known for his sculptures – such as his signature Rock pieces – installations and limited editions, Levy nevertheless feels, “The world is about people, not objects.”

Born in 1963 and hailing originally from Israel, Levy set up his studio in Paris in 1992. Heavily dyslexic, art became his medium of expression. Levy studied at the Art Center Europe in Switzerland where he gained a BS with distinction in 1991.

After a stint in Japan where he observed Japanese minimalist culture and way of life, he took on new experiences such as manufacturing products and pieces for exhibitions. Levy then returned to Europe where he contributed his artistry to another field – contemporary dance and opera by way of set design and installations.

Considering himself a “feeling” artist, Arik Levy continues to contribute substantially to our interior and exterior milieu – his work including public sculpture, as well as complete environments that can be adapted for multi-use. “Life is a system of signs and symbols,” he says, “where nothing is quite as it seems.”

Arik Levy collaborated with Coalesse to design the Marien152 Seating Collection.
