About the Exhibition

Using combinations of gouache, acrylic, ink, watercolor, pencil and pen and ink, Scott Lewis creates a world made-up of antagonistic landscapes with twisted, bizarre inhabitants. Drawing literally upon the expression, "it is written all over his face" Lewis composes his characters of extreme colors, textures, and musculature in a hallucinatory way to illustrate the emotions, feelings and desires that build the subject's psyche. The lengthy titles of his works explain the lives of desperate characters; desperate for acceptance, desperate to dominate a situation, or desperate for a good time (that ultimately disappoints).
