About the Exhibit

Stephen Lewis is a painter, printmaker, and guitarist who makes his home in the Hudson River Valley. His paintings and prints focus on contemporary socio-political forces and the fragile beauty of the natural world. In his subject matter and style, Lewis displays the unusual intersection of three different genres — naturalism, surrealism, and political art. In technique, he sketches and paints in the landscape, en plein air, with a vigorous gestural mark and rich, painterly brushwork. The result is a body of work with an incisive vision that is expressive, seductively luminous, and subversive in its wry and sometimes dark humor.
