Painting, Video, Installation

Woodstock, Illinois

Bert Leveille, a contemporary Chicago area artist with a Harvard, Starline studio, creates art and art installations exploring consciousness. Large paintings are accompanied by selected video, animation and/or synchronized light... Collaborations include musicians, poets and performers. Shawn Coyle’s dance “Tunnel” was inspired by leveille’s large-scale paintings that completed the stage’s transformation into an alternate world, while her dancers danced thru leveille’s 15-foot art tunnel and played with 3-D creatures. Installations mesmerized viewers much like a visual mantra. Recently viewers walked through a 120 foot tunnel of “Dreams,” while “Synapse” a collaboration with poets Hex and May stretched and challenged the boundaries of a small space exploring consciousness and our relationship to it and its relevance to our universe.
