OKKIO COLLECTION
JACK LEWIS
Lewis' paintings and collages inhabit vast open spaces populated by isolated figures and various objects. Lewis appropriates images from 50's Americana into mixed media artworks, adopting the content and context of the original images to convey his own poignant meanings.

From Set Decor to the canvas
Possessing a facility with paint, Lewis’ work brings a combination of insight and integrity to the genre of figurative art. Whether images a few centimeters wide or several meters high, fluidity combined with a pragmatic approach to representation, seduces and disarms simultaneously. Crucially, however, Lewis recognizes that it is paint itself rather than the attendant subject matter that lends his paintings complexity and keeps us looking.
