Jonathan Levine Projects is committed to new and cutting edge art. Our roots go back to 1995 when LeVine's life-long participation in punk and underground music grew into a curatorial experiment with the visual culture that surrounded him. In 2005, he opened Jonathan LeVine Gallery in the Chelsea district of New York City and had great success nurturing the careers of many celebrated artists. In 2017, the gallery relocated to Jersey City with a newfound focus on community and collaboration. The newly named Jonathan LeVine Projects aims to create engaging programs and interesting partnerships beyond the traditional gallery space. With an eye towards honoring and connecting with the history and context of Post War art, Jonathan LeVine Projects explores the terrain of the high/low and everything in between. Doubleparlour is a husband-and-wife artist duo based in San Francisco, consisting of Ernie and Cassie Velasco. They are known for their eerie yet whimsical handmade resin sculptures, which often feature melancholic, doll-like characters with surreal and unsettling expressions. Their work blends elements of dark humor, dreamlike narratives, and a touch of the grotesque, creating figures that feel both fragile and mysterious. Their signature characters, such as wide-eyed children, anthropomorphic creatures, and eerie twins, often have muted color palettes and delicate, hand-sculpted details. Each piece is carefully crafted and painted, making their work highly sought after in the art toy and lowbrow art communities. The Lost Mitten Society presents a visually diverse mix of emerging and established artists, all suffering from the loss of a mitten. Despite their frozen appendages, this group of over twenty artists have created small to medium sized, multi-disciplinary works, including a strong selection of drawing, painting and sculpture. In the name of solidarity, The Lost Mitten Society will be displayed salon-style in the gallery to showcase the group’s goal of reuniting lost pairs of mittens everywhere.
