NEW AT THE GALLERY
6 Jun 2012 - 15 Aug 2012








The Chris Levine Annex
7 Jun 2012 - 15 Aug 2012




Collectors Contemporary is proud to represent Chris Levine, one of the most in demand contemporary artists working today. We are presenting a changing selection of his works in a specially curated annex within the gallery. In 2004, Levine made history when he created Equanimity, the first ever 3-D holographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, commissioned by the Jersey Heritage Trust to commemorate 800 years of allegiance to the crown. In June 2012 Equanimity appeared on the cover of TIME Magazine. 2012 marks a pivotal year for the artist. In the year of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, Levine’s work is featured on specially commissioned UK postage stamps and £100 commemorative bank notes. This year, the artist has worked with the luxury brand Asprey to create a new holographic image of Queen Elizabeth II embellished with a real diamond diadem. The portraits, Lightness of Being and Equanimity, are currently featured in The Queen: Art and Image at London’s National Portrait Gallery.

Levine is a groundbreaking contemporary artist. He employs a distinctive visual language that combines advanced technology, beauty and philosophical reflection. The single thread that runs through his oeuvre is light - from light sculptures that exist as dramatic and poetic interventions in space, to portraits that use transitions of light to powerful and meditative effect. Levine uses light in diverse formats such as laser, holography and LED (Light Emitting Diode). Technology is a means to an end for the artist. He is concerned with the inherent power, beauty and spiritual dimension of light. Levine’s work explores and rewires our sensory perception. Levine creates new visual and auditory adventures for the viewer to participate in.

Levine has worked collaboratively on multi-disciplinary projects to achieve innovative and unparalleled sensory experiences. Working with the British electronic trip hop group Massive Attack at Glastonbury Music Festival in 2008, he used laser projected through oscillating prisms, and LEDs directed at the viewer’s peripheral vision. In 2009, after Razorlight and Paul Weller performed at the Eden project Levine used the transformative power of laser light to showcase his experimental sound and vision work entitled; iy_project*. In 2010, Levine was celebrated for his portrayal of the iconic Grace Jones in his exhibition Stillness at the Speed of Light. At the beginning of 2012, Levine worked with the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the 60 piece New York Symphony Orchestra and Antony Hegarty. Hegarty performed with the orchestra while Levine produced an experimental laser light installation projected onto a crystalline sculpture.

The artist has received commissions from organisations such as Cartier, BMW, Swarovski and Mario Testino for Tom Ford. Levine’s work combines progressive technology and artistry in a distinctive visual language that is both poetic and ultramodern. Levine’s work is without precedent and his relevance in the contemporary moment cannot be overstated.




Curator's Talk - The Soup Can: Appropriating Consumerism
14 Apr 2012 - 14 Apr 2012




Curator's Talk - The Soup Can: Appropriating Consumerism

Saturday 14th April, 3 to 4 pm

Speaker: Ms Jennifer Copley, Curator

A dynamic look at art appropriating languages of consumerism.

"I adore America and these are some comments on it. My (images are) a statement of symbols of the harsh, impersonal products and brash materialistic objects on which America is built today. (They are) a projection of everything that can be bought and sold, the practical but impermanent symbols that sustain us." Andy Warhol

Warhol, Pettibone and The Art of Appropriation
29 Mar 2012 - 5 Jun 2012




Warhol, Pettibone and The Art of Appropriation brings two groundbreaking artists together in a dynamic conversation about what appropriation means: its cultural and historical significance. This unique exhibition presents an opportunity for visitors to acquire celebrated works by Andy Warhol and Richard Pettibone and to take a focused look at their significance in art history.

To appropriate is to borrow an image and create a new meaning. The act of choosing an existing image or object and re-contextualising it is an artistic and conceptual act that resonates throughout art history.

Warhol pushes our understanding of appropriation even further. By taking the everyday as source material and making art, the artist dissolved any distinction between "high art" and popular culture: between art and life.

In the 1960s Richard Pettibone began producing unique miniature reproductions of artwork created by modern masters such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns and Frank Stella. These small jewel-like works are celebrations of the original modern masterpieces.

Warhol, Pettibone and the Art of Appropriation presents work of masterful skill, critical acclaim and artistic innovation by two pioneers of appropriation.
