Michael Siporin Levine is a visual artist currently based in Brooklyn, NY. Working across disciplines, he creates prints, drawings, videos, animations, and installations that mix autobiography with abstraction and invention.
Michael has shown his work both nationally and internationally, and most recently had his film “Making Monoprint” selected for the 2025 Film Makers Cooperative’s 2025 New Year New Work juried film screening. In 2023 his solo exhibition , "The Animator" , (2023, Azarian McCullough Gallery) uses printmaking, drawing, and animation to explore personal themes of time, seriality, abstraction, and observation. Monoprints and drawings are self referential and autobiographical, as he creates imagery referencing his experiences working in the studio to create animated films. In August of 2019 Michael was an Artist in Resident at Goggleworks Center for the Arts in Reading, PA, where he completed large scale prints, collages, and a video for a three-person exhibition. In the spring of 2019 Levine was a Visiting Artist and Professor at Wesleyan College in Macon, GA, where he taught undergraduate courses as he completed work for a solo exhibition, (“Green Screen” ). Other recent notable exhibitions, residencies, and awards include a four person exhibition at Art Space Hartford (2019, Hartford, CT), a residency and solo exhibition at Galeria Wschodnia (2018, Łódź, Poland), a three person show at Grizzly Grizzly (2018, Philadelphia, PA), 2017 Counterproof Press Visiting Artist in Resident (January 2017, University of Connecticut), a summer residency at Vermont Studio Center (2017, Johnson, VT), a solo exhibition and artist in residence position at Knox College (2016 Galesburg, IL), and in 2016 he was the Printmaking Fellow at the Wassaic Project in Wassaic, NY.
Levine received his MFA from the Lamar Dodd School of Art (University of Georgia, 2014), and his BFA from the School of Fine Arts at the University of Connecticut (2011). He is currently a full time instructor at Suffolk County Community College, where he teaches drawing, foundations, and digital art courses.
