Influenced by many forms of art, including modern design and cinema, Lévêque said he is not a conventional artist who is confined to a work studio. He often finishes or starts his works at a specific place he chooses. Sometimes, the place might just be an abandoned room.
His works keep developing and he intends to communicate with the viewers in the spaces he creates.
In July, viewers can see his work in person at the Today Art Museum in Beijing.
