Mark Lewis Custom Framed Original Painting On Canvas #006-25 (Lewis)

Custom framed display measures 25" x 21" in size with a matte black solid wood frame.

#006-25 by Mark Lewis is a commanding example of contemporary abstract expressionism. Through layered brushwork and textured surfaces, Lewis creates an atmospheric composition where muted blues, earthy browns, and flashes of crimson and gold blend into a restless, almost architectural energy. The interplay of movement and structure invites viewers to find both chaos and harmony within the abstraction, much like the improvisational brilliance of jazz or the shifting pace of a ballgame.

Lewis is not only recognized for his compelling artistry but also for his remarkable ancestry he is an ancestor of famed Hall of Fame pitcher Cy Young, one of baseball's most enduring legends. This connection adds an extra layer of historical and cultural significance to his works, making them appealing to both fine art collectors and sports memorabilia enthusiasts. The dual legacy of athletic greatness and artistic innovation elevates the long-term collectability of his paintings.

This piece reflects the gestural freedom of abstract pioneers such as Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline, while retaining Lewis's own distinct voice one that bridges movement, heritage, and visual storytelling.
