London born Philip started using his head as a canvas for creativity back in 2006 when he began to go bald. He did not want to conform to shaving his head like everyone else so started using it as an art form to express. Philip’s head designs have now become iconic within London’s fashion and art scenes which culminated in his debut exhibition ‘Headism’ in summer 2011, sponsored by Gillette. As a tastemaker, he has gained recognition with sites including Trend Hunter and NotCot with such terms as ‘Baldazzling’. Philip’s designs also inspire many men and women who are affected by balding to embraced  it and use in a positive way.

Philip teams up with professional body painter Kat Sinclair, continuously creating a wealth of designs that have ranged from his 1000-Swarovski crystal headpiece, to homages of such artists as Roy Lichtenstein and Hokusai painted on his head.

Philip Levine is a cultural consultant advising to organisations including Art Below, an enterprise making it accessible for artists to display their work on the London Underground, Tokyo and Berlin. He is also co-founder of the collective Lazy Gramophone, a couture arts and design label that supports developing artists by running a Dylan Thomas Prize nominated publishing label, gallery and events. Has worked in fashion as business developer for innovative ethical fashion designer Ada Zanditon and was sourced to work as a Cultural Attaché for The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 2010. Philip has also lectured at the University of Arts London’s Enterprise Centre for the Creative Arts (ECCA) on ‘Creative networking and Collaboration’, to help graduates learn about how to self-start creative business ideas. He is also part of The Observer Future 500 2011 yet still manages to create head designs!

Philip showcased his best head designs in his exhibition ‘Headism’ in London through photography by Daniel Regan, documentary by Viviane Castillo and sculpture supported by Lifecast. The show was in May 2011, at the NL Gallery, 40/42 Riding House Street, London, W1W 7ET.

In March 2011 Philip was an exhibit at the V&A. Have a look here. During April 2011 in build up to the show there were over 10 posters of Philip’s head designs displayed on the underground and a 1 week digital projection film at Liverpool Street Station.

You will soon see Philip’s work displayed at Somerset House from January 2012 over the next 18 months alongside such artists as Gabriel Dawe, Damien Hirst, Thomas Allen, Hugo Dalton, and Georgia Russell. Hugo Dalton, and Georgia Russell.
