Leviticus - Part 8
Two pieces by Leviticus found on Park Avenue South just north of Union Square. The uniting theme is the use of crayons.
The first one I found is a portrait on a page torn from a sketchbook.
The second is a page from a coloring book of Bible stories. The story concerns Joseph bringing his family back to Egypt.
The skull superimposed over Joseph's face and genital -like shapes over the bodies of both figures suggest a sex-death motif while the riot of color is an allusion to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
