ANDREW LEWIS - IN THE MEANTIME

This new series of portraits and figurative works is an exploration into nuanced personalities, a push into new and mysterious colour palettes, along with value ranges.

“I was in Paris in April, May and in the Musée d’Orsay,” says Lewis, “I saw this outrageously crazy painting by Renoir, and so I was taking pictures of it. So I used it as a jumping point. This show is all about the last two years of COVID, people dealing with this. And this painting is about almost post-COVID. Suddenly people are at the beach and enjoying life again. The joy of living.”  - Andrew Lewis
