Sophie Levygaley Red and Pink Acrylic and Ink on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About As an abstract expressionist painter, Sophie's work is defined by a parallel exploration of creativity and colour, capturing the moment of inspiration on canvas. Her study of the process of creation stretches through decades and a change from acrylic to oil paints. Every canvas illustrates this relentless research in technique and mindfulness, articulating the relation between inner and outer landscapes into a meaningful conversation. Sophie Levygaley was born in France. Early on in her education she pursued the arts, culminating in a Master's degree from ESAG Penninghen, where she also won the Saturday Designer competition and composed her first paintings. In the following years, she held creative positions at Yves Saint Laurent and Nina Ricci as she refined her style. Sophie's artistic achievements have been recognised in her appearance at The Other Art Fair presented by Saatchi Art in London, as well as multiple exhibitions in the Philippines, France and the United Kingdom. Her community involvement as an art teacher has helped foster creative potential in developing artists since 2000. She continued this work by founding and leading LevygaleyStudio in 2009. Inspired by the Federal Arts Project of the 20th century USA, Sophie's work as a teacher is an integral part of her research as an artist. To teach art is to phrase what is otherwise left unsaid in the artist's work. While Sophie searches for what art can express that words cannot, phrasing this research and transmitting it becomes a growing experience for her and her students. This social commitment fuels Sophie's identity as an artist, allowing her to be recognised as an artist in the dialogues between teacher and student, painter and audience.
