Chris Levine
Chris Levine was born in Ontario in 1960. He lives and works in Northamptonshire and is a light artist who works across many mediums in pursuit of an expanded state of perception and awareness through image and form.
Levine’s work considers light not just as a core aspect of art, but of human experience more widely and a spiritual, meditative and philosophical edge permeates his prints, paintings, photography and other art. He is perhaps best known for producing what is already being described as one of the most iconic images of the twenty-first century, Lightness of Being.
With light and stillness at its core, the sensational portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II presents an utterly fresh depiction of the most famous woman in the world. The National Portrait Gallery stated it was the most evocative image of a royal by any artist.
Levine’s practice is differentiated by cross-fertilization across many creative fields including music, performance, installation, fashion and design in a multitude of projects. His exhibition “Hyper Visual 1.2” completed a tour of 12 countries with the British Council. In 2012 his work The Queen: Art and Image got featured in a major exhibition at London’s National Portrait Gallery. He has had artwork in London’s Science Museum and has staged light performances and exhibitions internationally in spaces such as Radio City in New York commissioned by MoMA, the Eden Project, the Royal Opera House, MATE museum in Lima, London’s Fine Art Society and the headline installation at MOFO festival for Tasmania’s MONA museum.
Levine’s status as one of the world’s leading light artists has led to several high-profile cross-media collaborations with Massive Attack, Hussein Chalayan, Antony and the Johnsons, Kate Moss, Grace Jones and Jon Hopkins. He has also produced work for Chanel, BMW and Swarovski. Levine completed another historic portrait to commemorate the Dalai Lama’s 80th birthday to raise funds for the victims of Nepal’s earthquake.

- Pay NothingLocated in London, GBKenny Schachter "Pay Nothing". Archival digital print on wove paper. Published in 2020. Edition of 60. Hand signed and numbered by the artist, verso. ‘At the height of Covid, various activist groups arose to protect artists and others from unlawful evictions for non-payment of rent due to their lack of earning capacity by an economy that all but ground to a halt—other than for the multinationals that always seem to prosper in times of crisis. One such grassroots advocacy initiative in April of 2020, was CANTPAYMAY which I spotted on artist Nicole Eisenman’s Instagram feed by way of a poster she created which proclaimed: “RENT STRIKE! STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THOUSANDS OF NEW YORKERS ON RENT STRIKE DURING #CANTPAYMAY. WITH MILLIONS OF NEW YORKERS OUT OF WORK, WE CAN AND MUST #CANCELRENT. SIGN THE RENT STRIKE PLEDGE TO JOIN THE MOVEMENT!” Pay Nothing is an appropriation of Ed Ruscha’s 2003 painting Pay Nothing Until April; though Ruscha attempts to disclaim meaning in his text works, it clearly references the loaded notion of having to pay-up in April, which is when both State and Federal taxes are owed across the country, as all US taxpayers are only painfully all too aware. “Says Ruscha: ‘I’m empty headed in many ways, and don’t know why I follow what I follow. Like most people, I operate on an automatic mode, and everything is an involuntary reflex. Logic flies out of the window when you’re making a picture, at least it does with me. And thank God it does.’” @tate In the context of the Covid pandemic, Pay Nothing signifies the fact that if a population is deprived of the means to earn a living, we still must eat and have a roof over our heads to feed and shelter ourselves and families. For, if we don’t have the ready capacity to provide, as Malcom X...Category
