About The Artwork

Gandhi as one of the characters from Mike Leavitt's "Empire Peaks" series of satirical pop culture mash-up's. Each statue has 5 moving body parts at 4 points of articulation with removable accessories to lampoon their subject's fictional elements. Includes a footpeg-mounted 18" x 24" white-finished wood base for permanent display. Like his fictional counterpart, Mahatma Gandhi is the quiet, modest leader of a mass spiritual movement. These small, wise men's inspirations also carried massive radical political ramifications. Big, heavy things reside in small, unsuspecting bodies. Their powers are more cerebral than material. Technological gadgetry is replaced by attunement to nature and harmony. Gandhi’s Jain book at his side is his one man-made device he keeps on his quest. A simple stick fallen from a tree is the only other material object this small being needs to merely prop himself upright and maintain his balance.

ReMike, aka Mike Leavitt (born November 4, 1977), is a visual artist most widely known for his "Art Army" series of hand-made action figure toys depicting visual artists, musicians, and entertainers. With his HiPop Project, Leavitt is responsible for a wide variety of fine art and design. ReMike's HiPop Project threads a needle between art and design. ReMike's infamous quote, 'Living artists are just as good as dead ones', suggests big ambitions. In a world of possibilities 'trust your gut' is ReMike's credo. An intuition kitchen is a metaphor for his creative process. ReMike is a one-man company running on instinct in an isle of Seattle's southern waters known as Vashon. ReMike has gotten busy on a path-less-chosen since quitting Brooklyn's Pratt Institute as a freshman with a 4.0 GPA in 1997. The Empire Peaks are an ambitious array of Gen X imagery. Political-icon Star Wars mash-ups are executed as large scale, hand-carved, articulating wood statues. His Art Army action figures are hand-made one-offs depicting the band of marauding pacifists defending the earth. Spanning a range of historical subjects from Van Gogh to Tupac, ReMike stop-motion animates the articulating figures into movie shorts. The figurative format includes a custom wedding cake topper side-project. His Corrugated Kix and Hip Hopjects are nostalgic throw-backs to 80's ephemera with classic shoes and other accoutrements replicated to exact specifications with cardboard and other such trash found in the street. Penny Places are a series of 'lucky' pennies (U.S. 1-cent coins) found in the street, painted with tiny landscapes of the exact location where the penny was found. As a precursor to his other collectables, ArtCards is ReMike's DIY trading card project that spawned his professional career. Tapping his busking roots ReMike rendered a series of performance-like iterations of ArtCards, street-vending wrapped packs with a crumbly piece of bubble gum. ReMike's work has been featured in Wired Magazine, CBC Radio, New York Magazine, The Huffington Post, and Los Angeles Magazine. His art is published in Dot Dot Dash (Gestalten Press), Toy Design (Braun), and periodicals from Hong Kong, Indonesia, Philippines, Italy, Australia, Russia and Brazil. Leavitt is represented by Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York. ReMike comes from a conceptual art background. Many generations of interactive performance art and installations evolved early in his career.
