Levine, 'Echo Shift-2', oil, crayon, and inks on canvas, 36" x 48", 2008. Click for a larger version. Read more about the artist Working on canvas, panel and paper with oil crayons, ink washes, stamps and text, Pittsburgh artist R.E. Levine explores the decorative, kaleidoscopic and confounding nature of patterns - their iteration, shift, interruption and redirection, and, finally, their function. The works in the Echo/Shift series, in Hundred Happiness, and in the Three Flag series are complemented by an installation of 20 handmade books held by newspaper sticks. Devoted to the 'imperial rescript' of pre-WW II Japan, the room sized installation utilizes Tokyo newspapers from 1931-4 to illuminate the redirection of an entire nation's pattern. Gallery 10 is located at: 1519 Connecticut Ave, NW  Washington, DC 20036 Regular Gallery Hours: Wednesday – Saturday, 11 am – 5 pm
