Arik Levy centers the dynamic relationships between nature, humanity, and society in his artistic production. His sculptures and installations are inspired by natural forms, exploring elements such as minerals, rocks, liquids, and solids, as well as human connections. These works transcend mere aesthetic objects, reflecting the intrinsic processes of nature and the structural components of human relationships. Levy emphasizes that the world is built upon human interactions, going beyond objects and forms, situating his art within a sociological context.
Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, Levy works across a wide range of fields, from design to set decorations, sculptures to wearable technologies. The artist creates a dialogue between minimalist forms and multidimensional geometries by merging his technical knowledge and poetic sensibility. During his time in Japan, he developed ideas that led him to create set designs for performance fields such as contemporary dance and opera. Later, he focused on art, industrial design, and architectural projects through his studio. Working in diverse areas, from public sculptures to multifunctional environmental designs, Levy positions his art as both a visual and intellectual space, stating, “Life is a system of signs and symbols.”
