BIO
Levi Hawken’s art is shaped by his experiences in skateboarding, graffiti, and working with concrete and nature. Starting his career in graffiti in Auckland during the mid-1990s, Hawken grew frustrated with the transient nature of street art and turned to the studio to create works with lasting impact. His paintings, drawings, and sculptures serve as "keepsakes" of his street art past.
As a skateboarder, Hawken is drawn to the textures and structures of urban landscapes. His recent concrete sculptures explore scale, light, and shadow, and are adaptable to diverse environments, from galleries to skate parks, seamlessly connecting his work back to the urban spaces that inspire him.
