Andrew Leventis

Andrew Leventis makes small scales, finely rendered paintings that refer to the histories of art, photography and television.

Concerned with a tension between the painted and technological image, there is a filtering process that takes place through time and medium where the artist borrows back from cinematic designs of contemporary television that have borrowed themselves from configuration in painting.

Leventis’s opulent paintings relay and ambiguous narrative where human subjects engage in an everyday activity, or where interior scenes reveal, despite an absence of a person, their presence through objects. This conveys a sense of loss and of solitude with dramatic and sometime sinister undertones.  

Exhibited at Griffin Gallery in Young Gods in January 2013.
