Chris Levine

Chris Levine (b.1960) is a British artist renowned for his pioneering work with light and lasers. His innovative approach transcends traditional mediums, integrating technology and spirituality to create immersive art installations that challenge and expand human perception. Levine’s multidisciplinary practice encompasses installation, photography, performance, fashion, music and design. His synthesis of technology and art positions his work within a broader historical context, aligning with movements that seek to transcend the physical and delve into the metaphysical. A seminal piece in Levine’s portfolio is Lightness of Being (2004), a holographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II lauded for its spiritual depth and technical mastery, described by the National Portrait Gallery, London, as “the most evocative image of a royal by any artist”. In 2012, the artist was commissioned by MoMA, New York, to integrate lasers with music for Anohni and the Johnsons’ Swanlight performance at Radio City Music Hall. Levine’s recent site-specific installations have pushed the boundaries of light art in diverse settings further, from Durham Cathedral, UK (2021) to Hobart, Tasmania (2017) and Noor Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (2024). Levine’s major exhibition at Houghton Hall in Norfolk, UK (2021), titled 528 Hz Love Frequency, featured Molecule of Light, a monumental 25-metre-high sculpture that transformed the landscape and cemented his innovative approach.
