Although his stylistic code is clearly recognizable, his distinctive feature lies in his approach to thought, which leads him to reject any specialized logic and to cope with the most disparate challenges.

“I’m interested in learning something different every time,” says the artist-designer.

“Taking knowledge from one industry to another. Mingling things and ideas that can work together. Giving each work a value that enables it to stand out, and avoiding the standardized approach that dominates so many creative fields today.”

One of his latest projects is an exclusive capsule collection of bags designed for Colombo, a Milan-based luxury brand specializing in leather accessories.

Arik Levy’s Sculptural Collection has a twofold interpretation: it includes the creation of a new model, the Sculptural Bag, and a revisitation of Dione, an iconic model of the Maison.

The former draws inspiration from the artist’s sculptural work. It is a notably compact volume, with asymmetrical and angular forms created by a work of material subtraction related to the well-known series of Rock sculptures.

The second comes from an explicit process of fusion that engrafts the figurative elements of the Rock, Rock Growth and Fixing Nature series onto the crocodile skin of the Dione model.

The result is a collectible art bag, also available with a special 14-karat gold handle that reproduces a section of the Facet sculpture.
