In this epsjdoe Anna and Lewis talk a lot about Lewis’s journey to this show. After graduating from Goldsmiths in 2019 Lewis was exhibiting in a wonderful range of exhibitions and really picking up momentum. He then took the decision to move to Athens, here Lewis’ work took a shift and his whole way of working developed. In Athens Lewis started sketching and working from what was around him. He started heading into the mountains studying the buildings, the sky and ancient ruins. The was a drastic shift from the figurative work Lewis had been making in London. Lewis moved back to London just before the pandemic and First Light is his first exhibition since leaving London. It is a series of work that references both London and Athens as long as his own personal experiences. Lewis talks about being ready to show this body of work and almost sees it as a homecoming to the London art scene. Anna and Lewis also discuss the gallery side of the art world and Lewis wants to mention all the support he has received form @campbell.hector and the @collectivending team! Tune in to learn more about Lewis and his practice.
