Richard B. Lewis

A lifelong devotee of form and color, this artist builds a quiet, compelling world through careful observation and patient craft. Beginning with drawings that traced the boundaries between light and shadow, the work gradually expanded into painterly explorations that emphasize texture, material, and mood. Across a diverse range of subjects, the practice blends disciplined technique with an intuitive sense for composition, inviting viewers to linger and notice small discoveries in ordinary scenes. Influences appear in the tension between restraint and gesture, yet the voice remains singular and focused. The resulting body of work speaks to memory, place, and the everyday chemistry of perception.
