LOVART is the fascinating art project of two Israeli artists – Lucien and Touvia. The LOVART sculptures are inspired by Hasidic ideas. The project combines pop art and the universal messages of freedom, humanity and love …Click here to read full bio.
The artist duo Touvia and Lucien share an artistic history that goes back twenty years. Touvia is a well-known international Judaica artist, whose name precedes him. Lucien is an esteemed artist, gallerist and the founder of one the world’s leading contemporary Judaica Gallery. Lucien discovered seventeen-year-old Touvia, and ever since then he has been accompanying his career as a mentor and gallerist representing his art.
In recent years, the artist duo has developed a fascinating and unique concept of “LOVART”. This international and top pop art sculpture bases itself on Hasidic ideas, which are the sources of inspiration for both artists. They combine their pop art with a universal message that tells a story about freedom, liberty, humanity and love. It is a conversion of deep spiritual and mystical content into a language accessible to all, using
aesthetic, colorful, material and boundary-breaking compositions.
Lā¤VART’s first concept project is a tribute to the 1980s, to its leading international pop art artist Keith Haring.
Inspired by his characters, which have become global symbols of contemporary art and have
permeated widespread cultural and consumer dimensions, the project is a delicate combination of ingenious simplicity and human expressions that are beyond color, affiliation or identity, and
represent a refined essence of being. It is a perfect and complementary point of connection between two opposite ends –
Hasidic spirituality and universal humanism.
Transforming the two-dimensional characters of Haring into a three-dimensional sculpture deepens its meaning and gives substance to imagination and space for creativity.
The combination with the heart motif transforms the artist duo’s homage into an artwork that opens new horizons in the contemporary pop art sculpture world.
