Levinne doesn’t want to be remembered. He just is. American and European. Romani. Jewish. Unclaimed, unclaimable. This isn’t rebellion. It’s uncreation—of self, of form, of everything expected. That’s what sets him apart.

Artists are dead. The real ones, anyway. Suffocated under hashtags, sponsorships, and the pixelated groan of mass approval. Punk, too, embalmed in nostalgia and irony. Levinne never auditioned for either. He’s still here. Unstyled. Unbothered.

No Instagram presence. Zero followers. Not a glitch — a choice. Silence, finally, as resistance.

Forget the curated rage of fake anarchists with PR agents. Levinne has nothing to sell. No pose to break. No trauma performance. He worked campaigns once — Prada, Guess, American Apparel — and walked away before the mirror cracked.

Now he owns an old, beaten-down farm near Milan. Chickens. Dirt. A cellar stocked with Barolo wine for the end of the world — and Levinne’s already ready. A refusal of spectacle so absolute it becomes its own kind of art.

He used to chase it all — the fame, the openings, the perfection. Exhibitions from LA to Tokyo, New York to São Paulo. He even shot presidents and Oscar winners. But status, in the end, is like a fart: you let it out and forget it. That whole game? Just ashes now.

His work doesn’t ask to be liked. It doesn’t even ask to be seen. That’s the power. The photography doesn’t perform; it witnesses. A woman mid-chemo. A faded actress clutching a vanished decade. Their lives leak through the lens. No retouching. No redemption arc.

Morphing Men, with Barry Morse — queer artist — is not drag. Not satire. It’s possession. Morse becomes Cher, Hitler, Jesus, Lennon. Not by impression. By surrender. Levinne captures the blur, the instability, the moment identity evaporates.

The Saints — collages from salvaged Catholic iconography — are neither devotional nor blasphemous. They hold the gaze. Fractured images that don’t ask for belief. They only insist on existing.

His poems—aren’t about him. They are him. Erotic, elegiac, unsheltered. Men loving men. Desire, estrangement, aftermath. No punctuation. No rhyme. No lesson. Just breath. They read like something unsent, left behind on purpose. Like goosebumps on paper.

He doesn’t label. Doesn’t perform position. Not commercial. Not underground. Outside all of it. The work isn’t defiant. It’s just intact. No outreach. No self-mythology.

In a culture addicted to reaction, Levinne offers presence. You either notice it or you don’t. He won’t repeat himself.

He’s not seeking legacy. He’s not trying to be an artist. He is. Rare poet. Unruly painter. Fearless photographer. One of the last punks standing — mostly because he never claimed to be one.
