About the Artist
Headshot of Jon Levy-Warren
Jon Levy-Warren

Brooklyn-based painter Jon Levy-Warren peers through transparent surfaces in order to evoke the joy and suffering of life with his frenetic line. These expressive renderings of people, animals and fictional characters galivant across nature and urban landscapes. With graphic color-blocked compositions, Levy-Warren examines emotional states to question the sadness of an indigo blue or the implied ecstasy of a hot pink. His most recent solo shows were at CounterPulse in San Francisco and Long Weekend Gallery in Oakland. His paintings have appeared in numerous group exhibitions in New York and the Bay Area.
