Martin Levinne

Martin Levinne is a mixed media artist known for his raw aesthetic, deeply connected to the underground art scene. His work combines acrylics and a variety of mixed media elements to create evocative pieces that reexamine societal and cultural norms while embracing themes of human vulnerability, authenticity, and resilience. Known for rejecting commercialized trends, Levinne labels his approach as "art in the age of bullshit," embodying a punk-inspired ethos that values unfiltered expression and defiance of mainstream art conventions. Levinne's pieces reflect a deep commitment to exploring the rawness of human experience and the complexities of identity. His work resonates within alternative art spaces, aligning with the underground movement's embrace of subversive creativity. He splits his time between Los Angeles and New York, but he mostly calls Italy home, where he is establishing an art residency on his farm for other artists to create and collaborate.
