ABOUT THE ARTIST
Best known for transforming public spaces through over 200 site-specific art installations—including the iconic Library Walk in New York City—LeFevre brings the same intellectual rigor and visual poetry to his private work. In The Neo-Classical Reimagined, the artist reinterprets the aesthetics of Classical and Neo-Classical sculpture using crumpled photographic prints, vinyl, embedded rhinestones, and AI-generated imagery. The resulting works live on the wall with the presence of freestanding sculpture, inviting a new dialogue between history, beauty, and technology. The exhibition centers around LeFevre’s exploration of The Three Graces—a mythological symbol of divine femininity that has inspired artists from Botticelli to Canova. In LeFevre’s hands, these figures are fragmented and reframed, embodying the vulnerability and resilience of the feminine ideal. His “Wrinks,” a signature technique involving the physical manipulation of photographic surfaces, animate each piece with depth, movement, and conceptual tension. LeFevre draws from ancient body-mapping techniques once used by Da Vinci and Canova and refracts them through a contemporary lens—referencing facial recognition systems and modern surveillance. The result is an artistic language that fuses antiquity with immediacy, placing LeFevre’s work at the intersection of art history, philosophy, and digital consciousness.
Gregg LeFevre has had his works commissioned by and exhibited in New York, Miami, Chicago, Boston, Las Vegas, Seattle, Los Angeles, along with many more United States cities. As a resident of New York City, he has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Browne Fund, and in collaboration with the Grand Central Partnership, an award for excellence in design from the Arts Commission of the City of New York.
