Description

“Lion King” by Dorit Levinstein, from her "Animals" collection, is an original hand-painted bronze sculpture that serves as a metaphorical representation of courage and activism, as expressed by Levinstein. The sculpture embodies the lion's symbolic roar, an homage to individuals who raise their voices for social change and justice. Despite being depicted as a skinny lion, a choice that contrasts with the typical portrayal of lions as robust and powerful, this sculpture emphasizes the impact and significance of the roar, symbolizing how even seemingly small or unlikely sources can produce powerful and influential voices. Levinstein's use of vibrant colors and dynamic lines enhances the expressive nature of the lion, highlighting its majestic and assertive presence. "Lion King" is more than a depiction of an animal; it's an artistic statement on the power of voice and action, reflecting Levinstein's deep engagement with themes of social activism and the transformative power of individual expression.
