About
"Lewis admits a tendency to hone in on a subject and obsessively dissect its possibilities whether through photography or painting. One wall is devoted to paintings of shoes. Every kind of women's shoe imaginable as a study in form and color.
On the opposite wall, a series of swimmers, captured first by photograph and then embellished on canvass from a variety of unusual angles and perspectives. ....
The diversity of his art – and quality of each piece – is stunning by any measurement, particularly to a relative newcomer to the commercial art world. In truth, Lewis has managed to produce a lifetime of work in only 12 years, without the slightest hint of formulaic repetition. One series harkens towards Gauguin, the next Ralph Steadman – without a pattern or particular style."
