WEBSITE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION •
I am an interpreter, narrator and creator who primarily focuses on narrative and conceptual artwork realised as figurative and abstract forms
My works are psychosocial constructions which draw heavily from my own lived experience whilst contributing to societal discourses around matters I find pertinent - such as sexuality, power asymmetries, and the constructs of institutions
I find importance in celebrating the male body and homosexuality in my work, as a form of intentionally joyful resistance to historical oppressions
Employing dry media, print making and digital techniques as my means of physical realisation, I hope my work will contribute to and widen critical dialogues for collective progress
Living in southwest London, I am a Fine Art student at the Royal College of Art - ranked the leading art and design university globally - where I am undertaking a Graduate Diploma in Art and Design
“Lewis' practise was birthed out of lived experience... [the factors which] shaped and constrained his internal world. Through an act of resistance, he navigates his internal and external realities. By exploring male identity, sexuality and unrealised desire he is piecing together the fragments of the gaze once imposed upon him; in an act to heal, build and rise up to the world that he wants to live in.”
— Hein Floris Jurgens, Emerging Contemporary Artist
