Leon Lewkowicz (Levkovitch) was born in 1936. He graduated from the State Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź in 1960 and received his diploma in Zdzisław Głowacki’s master class. In 1961 he moved to Paris where he lives and works to this day. In 1970 he completed a course in lithography at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. From 1972 he has also been working in Pietrasantain Italy where most of his small-scale sculptures in bronze and terracotta are made. Apart from sculpture, Lewkowicz is also active in the field of drawing and painting. In his visual compositions he often combines different techniques, such as gouache, engraving or delicate relief in a thick layer of paint. His art owes a lot to the tradition of L’Ecole de Paris and its international environment of the interwar and postwar periods. A type of figurativeness and expression which was formed in these years often surfaces in Lewkowicz’s painting style. His sculpting is influenced by his great fascination with Etruscan art. All these inspirations are combined with the unique personal style of the artist. Leon Lewkowicz has been holding exhibitions since 1962
