Biography
After graduating at Art Center College of Design (Art Center, La Tour-de-Peilz, Switzerland), Levy went to Japan where he consolidated his ideas producing products and pieces for exhibitions.[1] He then returned to Europe where he contributed his artistry to contemporary dance and opera creating set designs. Renowned for his sculptures and the "Rock" series, Levy's work is widely collected by public and private collections.[3] One of his most recent and largest sculpture has been acquired by Atomium in Brussels (RockGrowth Atomium 808, over 8 meters high).[4]
