Silverline Prints
Marc is the only son of the artist/sculptor/poet/ Carol Vandermeir Levy. Marc holds a BFA in Film from the Philadelphia College of Art (U'Arts). Marc's career path out of college was into the advertising film and video industry. Marc's background is in painting and analog photography. In 2001, he taught himself Photoshop and began working digitally, layering painted elements into his digital photography. Today, his work is almost entirely digital except for the occasional watercolor or pastel drawing. Marc enjoys combining painted elements into collages. His subjects include colorful abstracts, black-and-white photographic landscapes, and collages. Marc works from his studio in Connecticut. He has attended workshops and classes at SVA, Parsons, Silvermine Arts, and the Contemporary Print Center. Marc's work has won awards from both local and international juried exhibitions and international art fairs. Marc is best known for his multiple-dimensional layered collages, drawing inspiration from social issues, political themes, and the abstract.
Photography
I push the boundaries of photography. The work shown here started as an image I shot with my camera; in some cases, I have added or colored parts of the image, and in others, I have layers my digital paintings onto the image. The final artwork is a glossy artifice, a textured reality of what the experience was and how I remembered the moment at the time of its finishing.
