Artist
Rick Lewis
Rick Lewis’s art is deeply influenced by the vibrant cultural and ecological tapestry of the Gulf Coast, where diverse cultures and beliefs like animism, Catholicism, mysticism and voodoo intermingle. This unique environment has profoundly shaped his aesthetic, with his abstract imagery emerging from perceptions and remembered experiences of nature. For Lewis, art reflects the natural world, with paintings serving as metaphors that transcend singular subject matters. His work emphasizes the intrinsic connection between humans and nature, capturing an ever-changing, fluid essence that mirrors the dynamic surfaces of his paintings.
