Contemporary Masters Series: Stanley Lewis- Painting The Experience of Seeing: A Retrospective APRIL 13, 2007 Stanley Lewis is one of the strongest landscape painters living and working today. This exhibition will present a range of his landscape works created in oil on canvas and masonite, acrylic on canvas, and pencil, tempera, and pen-and-ink on paper, some as large as eight feet, done over the last forty years of his life. Lewis admits to “being excited by trees…in all their many splendid forms – trees in the full-dress of summer or the nakedness of winter, in a particular time of day, light, and season.” He works and re-works his pieces over time, cutting and re-gluing pieces of his paintings, creating depth and angles that give an interesting aspect to his work. It is Lewis’s uncompromising approach (as he paints in the tradition of the great artists), the sense of awe and excitement before nature that he expresses in his work, and his desire to get at exactly what makes each setting unique, that draws us into his pictures and makes us want to look further.
