FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 5, 2018
HANCOCK, MI – Life and Color, paintings by Miguel Levy is the new exhibition at the Copper Country Community Arts Center’s Kerredge Gallery. The Artist states about this work, “Life is not a single color, not even the many shades of one. Even as we are pushed towards atomization, it is the infinite connections of our social existence that give life its true meaning. And though we are often asked to stand in awe of individual power and celebrity, it is community and mutual care that reach beyond. “
Miguel Levy was born in Lima, Peru. When he was 15, Levy had the opportunity to paint alongside an Argentinian artist living in Lima. He learned about color and received comments about his paintings to strengthen his work. The paintings in this exhibition are portraits that are influenced by artists such as Wassily Kandinsky and Jackson Pollack. Miguel Levy lives in Houghton and is a Professor in the Physics Department at Michigan Tech University.
This exhibition is supported by a grant from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and will be on display through October 31, 2018. The public is invited to attend a reception for the artist on Thursday, October 11th from 6-8pm. The Copper Country Community Arts Center is located at 126 Quincy Street in Hancock.
