Levi Hawken, known widely as the "Nek Minnit" guy, has made a name for himself far beyond the viral meme that took the internet by storm in 2011. Today, Levi is not just a viral sensation but a respected artist and sculptor, represented by Collaborate Management, who is available for brand collaborations and art events.
In the whirlwind of internet fame, Levi's life transformed unexpectedly. What began as a humorous video among friends spiraled into a pop culture phenomenon, garnering over 8 million views. While the fame brought challenges, including a retreat from his beloved skate parks to quieter spaces, it also opened doors to new artistic opportunities.
Levi's approach to art is deeply rooted in his skateboarding background—viewing the urban environment as a canvas and skateboarding as a form of street art. His artistic endeavors extend into sculpture, where he manipulates forms and materials to create pieces that reflect his unique perspective on life and art.
Despite the ongoing association with the "Nek Minnit" meme, Levi has matured into a sophisticated artist whose work resonates with themes of speed, motion, and transformation. His sculptures often incorporate elements from his skateboarding days, blending rugged aesthetics with refined techniques.
For those interested in exploring collaborative opportunities, Levi brings a unique blend of viral fame and genuine artistic talent to the table. His work is not only visually striking but also imbued with the authenticity of someone who has lived through the highs and lows of sudden internet fame.
