ILevel Staff Art Show in New York City: Artist Carlos Rodriguez

The ILevel Staff Art Show opening party is on June 6th in New York, NY. In honor of the exhibition (which is curated entirely from the works of our talented team members) we’re highlighting the work of one of our installer/artists.

What sort of art do you create?

I make abstract representational paintings. I mainly use acrylic paint on canvas.

How long have you been doing it?

I started painting with oils at age 9 and at 15 or 16 years of age I decided painting is going to be my career.

What pieces are you showing in the ILevel art show? 

I haven’t decided what painting I will show but it might be the one above.

To see more work by Carlos Rodriguez and the rest of our skilled staff, stop by the ILevel Staff Exhibit at 37 East 7th Street in New York, NY.

ILevel Creates Family Photo Walls in NYC

Many of ILevel’s clients have just returned from fabulous holiday trips and family gatherings, and their phones are full of precious photographic memories. Our staff of professional picture hangers has been hard at work helping clients create gorgeous family photo walls showcasing these holiday treasures. Here’s a peek at three family photo salon walls designed by ILevel for clients in New York City.

Select and Size

Overwhelmed by the awesomeness of all of your photos? We can help you select the best shots, and choose proper sizes. For this client, ILevel created a multi-story photo wall across two floors and up the stairs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Print and Frame

Once you’ve selected your photos, we can take care of the printing and framing. This wall is held together with black frames, and the variety of frame sizes and shapes creates interest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Arrange and Install

You could try this at home, but it’s not as simple as it looks. ILevel’s professional picture hangers specialize in creating beautiful arrangements and will install them safely on your walls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The longer you wait, the more likely your photos will stay in your phone and not make it to your walls! Call 212.477.4319 or email info@ilevel.biz to get started on your family photo wall with ILevel.

ILevel at the Kips Bay Decorator Show House

In case you missed it, here’s a chance to see ILevel’s work in six rooms at the Kips Bay Decorator Show House. This annual event brings together top design talent under one roof to benefit the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club. ILevel provides professional art installation services for the designers who create these gorgeous spaces. Here are some of the designers with whom ILevel was pleased to collaborate this year.

Philip Mitchell Design created this comfortably luxurious sitting room. The focal point blue velvet sofa and surrounding chairs feature 26 pillows in 26 different patterns. We couldn’t get enough of the details in this room, including a collection of glass paperweights, brass candlesticks, and one of our favorite features, an upholstered deer head with antlers. ILevel hung 36 pieces of art on the walls including an early 60s photograph of Lee Radziwill looking as if she fully inhabits this room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jamie Drake and Caleb Anderson created this gold toned living room with adjacent bar. Mix a drink, take a seat in the coveted corner of the wrap around sofa, and contemplate the fabulous draped chandelier. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For Alessandra Branca’s breezy sitting room, ILevel installed a photograph of a Rhode Island beach by Tina Barney. This photograph works like a window in this room. I feel like I’m in a summer house gazing at my beach view.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s a glimpse of David Netto’s living room, “Cherry Bitters,” with distinctive tobacco-colored walls, white wrapped books, modern furniture and pops of color.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ILevel installed this collection of hand carved wooden canes in an alcove of Stefan Steil’s room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brian del Toro designed this peaceful, feminine bedroom using an antique screen as inspiration for his color palette of green and taupe with accents of pink, blush, and rose.
