David Levy Art

David Levy was born in Landstuhl, Germany, in 1962. At the age of 10, his father took him to The Studio, which was owned by a family friend and accomplished photographer, Harvey Mendelson. This was the start of his life-long passion for photography. While studying communications and art history at college, he met Jerry Burchfield and Mark Chamberlain, the owners of BC Space Gallery, in Laguna Beach, California. As a lab assistant, working side by side with Jerry in the darkroom, he began to refine his technical skills, with color and black & white printing. Considered a master printer, utilizing traditional and alternative processes and the demanding Ilfochrome process, David quickly built a reputation, which has led to collaborations with numerous artists, around the world, to produce exhibition-quality prints. Influenced by classic and contemporary photographers, filmmakers and artists, his conceptual photography reflects an integral connection between environmentalism, social/political activism and mass media influence on social behavior. His recent work deals with issues of racism, perception of place in society and the influence of mass media on lifestyle. Levy’s work has been exhibited extensively in the United States and Europe and is held by numerous private and corporate collections. Commercially, he produces creative and editorial imagery for lifestyle, portraits, travel and product use. He has also produced and curated numerous exhibitions, including works by William Eggelston, Mark Chamberlain, Jerry Burchfield, Glen Perotto, Jose Vasquez, Nils Olav Boe and many other notable photographic artists. He has also served as the country manager for Getty Images, in Denmark and has curated a number of commercial exhibitions for Getty, as part of the “Copenhagen Photo Festival.”

Please allow two weeks for production. Shipping time depends on method of shipping. Price is subject to availability. The Robin Rice Gallery reserves the right to adjust this price depending on the current edition of the photograph. Ted Adams’ first solo show at the Robin Rice Gallery juxtaposes surrealism with the documentary art form. What differentiates Mr. Adams’ work from traditional photojournalism is his keen eye for capturing the irony in the events that unfold before our eyes. It is the found objects in everyday life to which Adams is most attuned. He creates a subtle mood and visual mystery that conveys meaning not only from the image itself but also through imagining what exists just beyond the frame. "I see photography as a way of cropping the world—selectively taking things out of context—which often results in stripping the meaning out of the original subject matter, or at least making the image open to interpretation. It’s the opposite of traditional photojournalism whose intention is to create ‘narrative’ and context rather than discard them." While he has exhibited artistic photography in a variety of genres, in the past five years he turned his artistic eye inward to reflect a more autobiographical tone. While some people compare his work to that of Robert Frank, Adams finds himself more and more influenced by Larry Clark whose career was built on pictures drawn from his own life and drug-addled friends rather than a specific documentary mission. The unique presentation of this collection of twenty-three silver gelatin prints enhances the voyeuristic sensibility of Mr. Adams’ work. Each photograph is jewel box in size, measuring 4" x 6" to invite the viewer in to make an intimate appraisal. The craftsmanship of the wide, dark wood frames hearkens back to late 19th-century Shaker design—yet the aesthetic is boldly contemporary, providing a strong backdrop to draw the viewer’s gaze directly to the subject matter. This artisanship extends to the printing where Adams exhibits his skills in traditional darkroom processes. He shoots mostly with Leica and Nikon 35mm film cameras...
