Dean Martin Levita

Born in Philippines  - Lives & works in SF Bay Area, CA

Dean Martin Levita explores the nature of painting composed of basic yet indefinable shapes and marks to invoke spatial illusions that remain elusive of any descriptive narrative. Levita's work is guided largely by intuition and by finding a sublime through the repetition of shapes and colors in a deceptively simple way. Despite--or precisely because of--their simplicity, Levita's paintings embody a bright optimism seemingly executed with the brevity that inspires prolonged contemplation from the viewers.
