The surrealist and fantastic art of Elie Levy

Artist info



Elie Levy (Manu),a French Israeli artist painter, developed in his paintings, oil on canvas, an expressive individual style close to the surrealistic fantastic one, characterized by realistic images, which appears within non-realistic context and questions the interrelation between reality and fantasy. The images in the paintings can be or cannot be connected with reality.
