Mark Levin

Mark works with wood and tries to infuse it with a “Beethoven dynamic” which is pulling the melodic filigree out of wood along with the power and passion of the work. Mark starts his pieces by designing them in a flat black design rather than working with the wood and the design together. This allows him to create a much more powerful piece once the piece is then made from wood. His organic shelves and table that he creates has a visual fellow to them. The table tops or the shelves have a nature leafy feeling to them. The ripple has been carved so elegantly that they look like they have been made out of some material other than wood. The forms are than complemented by the natural texture of the wood which is prominent in his work.
