Isaac Shea Levin
Isaac Levin is a Milwaukee-based artist who was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. He's completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts. Levin is a dual-discipline creative, focusing on photography and ceramics. He uses photography to talk about his experience as a Black, Gay, Jewish man, asking his viewers to look inward through his large-scale digital photographs. To recognize how we perceive each other. In addition to photography, Levin creates wheel-thrown ceramic sculptures that represent how he perceives the world. Levin has exhibited in galleries such as The Center for Contemporary Art and Kenilworth Square East Gallery. Showing his installation titled Pick A Nig, shows that violence against Black people is not just a historical reality, but one that continues today.
Throughout his career in creative outlets, Levin has been able to provide a space for students and community members to share their works in a juried exhibition. Levin hopes to direct his talents into creating a space for emerging and existing artists to collaborate and express themselves without the limitations of practicality.
