“Creation is an uncontrolled muscle” according to Arik Levy. Artist, technician, photographer, designer, filmmaker, Levy’s skills are multi-disciplinary and his work can be seen in prestigious galleries and museums worldwide. Best known publicly for his sculptures – such as his signature Rock pieces -, his installations, limited editions and design, Levy nevertheless feels “The world is about people, not objects.”

Like up-ended bunches of flowers, clusters of thin fluorescent bulbs dangle over polished stainless steel table that, in turn, reflects the light in dazzling shards.

We’ll admit http://www.interiordesignblogs.eu/imgs-article/ebooks/100-vintage-industrial-styles-blog-vintage-industrial-style.pngthat it’s probably not the most energy-saving lighting source for your average bachelor s pad, but ‘Luminescence’ is nothing if not eye-catching.

Over at Sunset Boulevard, the Eighth Veil gallery is the stage for Levy’s 2008 collection ‘Absent Nature’ in which he continues his explorations with the raw, rock form. Blurring the line between furniture and art, the series of irregularly hewn blocks are made from blackened wood, stainless steel mesh and stainless steel that’s been polished to a mirrored sheen.
