About the Item
David Leviathan (Israeli, born 1950)
"War Hero" 2006
Oil paint on canvas, stretcher bars
Signed and dated on the bottom right of the painting.
"War Hero" by David Leviathan is a poignant piece that measures 37.5" x 57". As an abstract expressionist work, it captures the tumult of battle and the solitude of valor through its intense, contrasting colors and dynamic brushstrokes. The deep blues and greens evoke the depths of struggle, while the flashes of bright colors seem to represent moments of explosive action and fiery passion. This composition is a visual battleground, where every stroke underscores the chaos and intensity of war. The artwork's emotive force is palpable, inviting viewers to contemplate the complex layers of heroism and sacrifice. Leviathan's work is an ode to those who face war's harrowing trials, a canvas where the viewer can sense the echoes of conflict and the resilience of the human spirit.
About the Artist:
David Leviathan, born on August 6, 1950, in Kibbutz Givat Brenner, Israel, is a multifaceted Israeli artist whose talents span painting, sculpture, and poetry. After serving in the military, he studied at the Avni Institute of Fine Arts and worked under the guidance of Yehezkel Streichman. Leviathan's work, deeply influenced by Albert Camus's "The Fall," explores themes of life, death, and the human condition, often incorporating elements of nature and spiritual introspection. His style evolved from 3D objects to large-scale abstracts and human heads, executed during his sojourns on Greek islands. Leviathan's numerous solo and group exhibitions span Tel Aviv, Amsterdam, Paris, and beyond, and his work has been recognized with scholarships and grants from Israeli and Dutch cultural institutions.
"Open…Sensuality and religiousness are indeed the stated elements of Leviathan’s work, using, in his own words, the expression ‘An Eternal Cosmic Mating’, or ‘Elements of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire’. The desire to bring together the transcendental and the mundane is the charger of the brush…Close.
