Te Whanganui-a-Tara based artist primarily focused on painting and drawing practices. Lewis paints trivial scenes, with a roughly outlined and seemingly unfinished style, guided by notional grooves of thought.

A multi-disciplinary artist who focuses on using discarded and found materials, and the real world associations they carry, to invoke reverie-like thoughts that may be traced back to nostalgic ideals of home, sunshine and simpler times. He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) from Toi Rauwhārangi Massey University in 2024.

cloudspotting, 2022

Softly glowing and nestled in clouds, glossy and rounded paths and roads and plains. Clouds like floating moss, hanging tendrils. Clouds like the back of a great fish, like a brush through soft hair, castles in air.

Watch clouds and find shapes in them and sleep through the sunshine (avert your eyes from the glaring light).

Here we dredge up depictions of the idyllic and paradisal. Eerie and heavenly packagings of the natural world in endlessly replicated image and material.
