Today, Levy takes a step further in his constant striving to explore materials and their effect on the final perception of the artwork itself.
The Crater is created by the subtraction of all the mass. The 8-ton block becomes an 800kg structure that is both mineral and emotional just like the body, spirit, and skeleton of our own selves. Given its intricate appearance and complex forms the mind and eye can forever travel on its surfaces and scale the piece endlessly.

Artist, technician, photographer, designer, video artist, Levy’s skills are multi-disciplinary. Best known publicly for his sculptures – such as his signature Rock pieces – his installations, limited editions and design, Levy nevertheless feels “The world is about people, not objetcs”. Hailing originally from Israel and moving to Europe after his first participation in a group sculpture exhibition in Tel-Aviv in 1986, Levy currently works in his studio in Paris. His work has been exhibited in museums around the world – for example the Centre Pompidou in Paris and MoMA in New York – but also installed on a permanent basis in public spaces.
