Inspired by the holiday of Sukkot, a Jewish holiday celebrating the harvest, The Contemporary Jewish Museum has built its own sukkah (meaning "booth" or "hut") for gathering and community building in its Koret Taube Grand Lobby. Six local artists will each inhabit the Sukkah Studio as an open studio for one day between October 14-20, providing an inviting space for the artists to share their practice with visitors and work with interested people to make something together.
On Friday, October 18, sit down and strike a pose for figurative painter Jonathan Levy-Warren who will draw your portrait through a clear plexiglass canvas.
Jonathan Levy-Warren makes paintings representing moods through facial expressions and postures. He provides peeks into people's little worlds with his expressive hand drawn lines and vibrant emotive colors. His work is gestural and conveys spontaneity. Relationships between people, the shrug of a shoulder, or a tilt of the head conveys an inner universe in Levy-Warren's calculated frenzy.
