About the Item

Fluency #3 Abstract on paper in green, red, black. Richard Levine, born in Newark, NJ is a painter and photographer whose professional career has spanned more than 30 years in the graphic arts working for prominent design firms and corporate clients. A graduate of Fairleigh Dickinson Univ., he later studied oil painting for four years with artists Alan Turner and Andrew Lattimore and photography with Gary Winogrand. Additional studies were at Cooper Union and The School of Visual Arts, NYC. Extensive travel throughout the US, Europe, and Asia have formed the foundation for his work. Photo documentary work has included the Darfur refugee camps in Eastern Chad for the International Medical Corps and childhood health conditions in the Mississippi Delta with the Annie E. Casey Foundation. Richard has exhibited widely on the East Coast from Virginia to Maine in both solo and group shows. He is a 2017/18 recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. He won 2nd prize in the 2016 Bethesda Painting Awards. Levine was awarded a NY State Certificate of Merit for his exhibit: India, A Traveler’s Reflections. In Sept. 2016 he was featured cover artist for the Journal of Financial Service Professionals. His documentary work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Jewish Heritage, New York. Artist’s Statement My love of travel and exploration spark the inspiration, both spiritual and visual that I derive from experiencing the new landscape, people and culture which in turn invigorates my work and challenges me to both portray and understand our world. I like to paint and photograph in places where the weather, the traditions, and the geography still dominate; where these elements identify and characterize a locale. Where I can still connect to what has gone before, and one feels an authentic “sense of place.” In my current work, I am following two paths; the first explores the shared connections between geometric color field painting as exemplified by the work of Ellsworth Kelly, Kenneth Noland, et al. and the vernacular architecture of rural New England and Nova Scotia. Both define space in a very linear, formal structure, one of the squares, rectangles, and triangles. The second seeks to portray the evolving effects of climate change on the land caused by erosion and the movement of water. The work of Richard Diebenkorn and the poured paint techniques of the Color Field painters inspire and inform this new work.
