Robert Levine (artist)

Robert Levine is an American artist/sculptor, born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He received his MFA degree from CalArts in 1988.

Levine's work is sculpture infused with humor. A 1994 LA Times review of his art notes, "His "Half Knot Painting" is the sleeper of the show, a witty, punning mosaic of wood scraps, half with knots and half without. Understated and crudely coated with resin, it rips through the posturing of the work surrounding it to make a fresh and clever statement about painting's proudly confused identity."[1]
