About the Artist

According to the Naturalis Historia of Pliny the Elder, Zeuxis and Parrhasius of Ancient Greece held a contest to determine who is the greater artist. Zeuxis unveiled his painting of grapes so real, birds flew down to peck at it. And when Zeuxis tried to pull back the cover on Parrhasius' painting, he realized the cloth was the painting. Zeuxis said, "I have deceived the birds, but Parrhasius has deceived Zeuxis." In a 1964 seminar, psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan observed that this myth revealed how animals are attracted to superficial appearances, but humans are enticed by what is hidden. My work attempts to appeal to both, our animal and human instincts. - Leeah Joo
Levi Justice is a contemporary visual artist specializing in large scale, hyper-realistic oil paintings. His work is best described as narrative contemporary realism. While his subject matter is primarily figurative, he does not paint “portraits” in the tradition academic method. Justice obscures the figures to the extent that they are no longer understood as identifiable individuals, but rather as characters within a broader narrative. In his “Veiled” collections, he creates representations of his subjects submerged in abstract colors or draped layers of transparent plastic.
