Description
Rick Lewis draws inspiration from the vibrant cultural and ecological tapestry of the Gulf Coast, where Native American, French Acadian, African American and Mexican traditions intertwine with the land’s energy. His work channels this dynamic blend, informed by animism, mysticism, Catholicism, and voodoo belief systems deeply rooted in the natural world. For Lewis, abstract painting transcends language, emerging from metaphors found in nature and remembered experiences. His art is a fluid reflection of humanity’s connection to the environment, reminding us that paintings are not just representations of nature, they are nature.
