Marcus Levine, sculptor in the human physique, introduces an entirely unique approach to sculpture.
Unveiled for the first time in London at Gallery 27, Cork Street. At times using over 50,000 nails. This
highly skilled and multifaceted artist meticulously translates his ideas onto large white wooden
panels. by hammering nails at varying heights and distances, creating the tone and texture. All pieces
are done free hand without any tracing on to the board.
Abstract in theory, yet figurative in reality, the majority of Levine's 'nail sculptures' are extraordinary
representations of the human form. Aware of his unusual choice in material to express the human
body, Levine explains that after some time using nails to create other, more abstract sculptures, it
struck him "the interplay between the rigid, angular nails and the soft curves of the human torso,
would be more striking."
