Marcus Levine, sculptor in the human physique, introduces an
entirely unique approach to sculpture.
Unveiled for the first time in London at Gallery 27, Cork
Street. At times using over 200,000 nails.
This highly skilled and multifaceted artist meticulously
translates his ideas onto large white wooden
panels. by hammering nails at varying heights and distances,
creating the tone and texture. All pieces
are done free hand without any tracing on to the board.
Abstract in theory, yet figurative in reality, the majority of
Levines nail sculptures are extraordinary
representations of the human form. Aware of his unusual choice
in material to express the human
body, Levine explains that after some time using nails to create
other, more abstract sculptures, it
struck him the interplay between the rigid, angular nails and
the soft curves of the human torso,
would be more striking. Levines ability to capture the
curvilinear nature of the human body with
such sharp and inflexible objects is intensely represented. He
creates figures which are beautifully
muscular yet wonderfully delicate, and it is clear that the
artist has an innate grasp of the human
shape.
In a very clear move to encompass his love of non
representational ideas, Levine's latest work is in
stark contrast to his figurative sculptures. His large
monumental work embraces the sense of touch
and the abstract and a sensitive use of the materials which he
utilises, such as Oak, COR-TEN,
stainless steel, and stone. Marcus now has a following of
visually impaired lovers of art and
sculpture.
Light also plays an integral role in Levines work, as from
morning sun to evening sun the shadows
across the sculptures can appear as light as a pencil sketch or
as dark as a charcoal.
Marcus has appeared on BBC Look North, ITVs Calendar News, W
Radio Columbia, Hello Magazine,
to name but some of the media coverage of his work. You can
watch video coverage on his youtube
channel levineArt. With several monumental sculptures
commissioned and on display, two can be
found in Bradfords Cartwright Hall and the other at the
University of Braford.
Marcus Levine studied at Jacob Kramer Art College alongside
Damien Hirst. Previous alumi include
David Hockney and both Hirst and Hockney have been an
inspiration to Levine. Since completing his
first nail sculpture in autumn 2004, Levine believes he has
perfected his technique, pushing the
boundaries with each new work and creating increasingly dynamic
interpretations of subjects
utilising an incredibly difficult medium.

Hamsa
3,500
This multicultural symbol dates back to the Persians, in
Arabic Kamsa means hand or five and was used as a good
luck charm to ward off the evil eye. It was later used by
the
Muslims who call it the Hand of Fatima, the Christens who
called it the Hand of Mary and the Jews call it the Hand of
Miram. It has been traditionally given as a wedding present
to bring good luck to the happy couple.

Brad Nail Study VI
Sycamore wood, Self colour Brad nails
The aroma of polished wood fills the air as you enter the
gallery,
appealing to four of the five senses. When you run your
fingernails
along the banks of undulating brad nails it makes a pleasant
sound. The
wood is highly polished and is smooth to touch, you can see the
brad
nails twist, turn and undulate sympathetically along the lines
of the
carved sycamore trunk.
