RICHARD LEVINE
An interest in vintage animation, comics and illustration led Richard to a career in motion graphics. This energy is now captured in his art, which explores the geometric structure of iconic imagery. Embracing a spectrum of inspirations – from typographer Jan Tschichold to op art founder Victor Vasarely – Richard’s work hovers between representation and abstraction. Viewers may recognise the controversial pit bull dog, but they will never have seen it in this form. By playing with geometric shapes and blocks of colour, the East Sussex-based artist exposes the details of the pattern while allowing his audience to appreciate the overall form. This is created by rendering an image into a 3D form and wrapping it with a texture or pattern before running it through several transitions. Richard says: “My work is experimental and playful and is not constrained by a single discipline. This creates a feeling of kinetic energy, depth andmovement.”
