David Leviathan
'The Eagle' - Orange and White Large Bird - Abstract Expressionist Oil Painting

2005

About the Item

"The Phoenix" by David Leviathan is a 28" x 40" oil on canvas that embodies the essence of abstract animal painting. In this work, Leviathan utilizes a palette of soft whites, creams, and earth tones, accented with vibrant strokes of red and gold, to depict the mythical bird rising from the ashes. The painting's style is characterized by sweeping, textured brushstrokes that convey the fiery rebirth and dynamic movement of the phoenix. The composition radiates a sense of renewal and hope, capturing the transformative power of nature and myth. Leviathan's approach is both evocative and ethereal, inviting viewers to consider themes of resilience, rejuvenation, and the cyclical nature of life. About the Artist: David Leviathan, born on August 6, 1950, in Kibbutz Givat Brenner, Israel, is a multifaceted Israeli artist whose talents span painting, sculpture, and poetry. After serving in the military, he studied at the Avni Institute of Fine Arts and worked under the guidance of Yehezkel Streichman. Leviathan's work, deeply influenced by Albert Camus's "The Fall," explores themes of life, death, and the human condition, often incorporating elements of nature and spiritual introspection. His style evolved from 3D objects to large-scale abstracts and human heads, executed during his sojourns on Greek islands. Leviathan's numerous solo and group exhibitions span Tel Aviv, Amsterdam, Paris, and beyond, and his work has been recognized with scholarships and grants from Israeli and Dutch cultural institutions. "Open…Sensuality and religiousness are indeed the stated elements of Leviathan’s work, using, in his own words, the expression ‘An Eternal Cosmic Mating’, or ‘Elements of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire’. The desire to bring together the transcendental and the mundane is the charger of the brush…Close. - Varda Genosar (Herzliya, 2003) Available at the American Art Gallery, Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
