[edit] Life and work
Recognized for his unique drip painting technique in which cascades of poured paint leak from images and sometimes spill onto the floor, Christopher Bollen, Editor of Interview Magazine, called Lewis' process "making art bleed."[1] In an act he considers akin to stigmata, the artist allows the gash to “bleed” brightly colored paint (which he has applied), in order to express a transient and dying glamor.[2]
Lewis was included in the Wall Street Journal article titled "The 23-Year Old Masters," along with Dash Snow, Ryan Trecartin, Rosson Crow, and Keegan McHargue.[3] He was the youngest artist to exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia[3] when he was commissioned by the museum to create an installation before graduating with his BFA degree.[1][4][5][6] Lewis's work was exhibited alongside Terrence Koh's in the 2010 Whitney Museum of American Art Art Party Auction to benefit their Independent Study Program.[7] He was featured as a "Groundbreaker" artist in the 2011 Whitney Art Party and groundbreaking ceremony for their new museum in lower Manhattan.[8]
Lewis is also a distant cousin of James Dean.[1]
