Mark Lewis Custom Framed Original Painting On Canvas #007-25 (Lewis)

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

#007-25 by Mark Lewis exemplifies the artist's unique approach to abstract expressionism, where structure and spontaneity intersect. Strong diagonal strokes in green, ochre, and teal cut across the canvas, creating an energetic interplay of form and color. Areas of white space ground the composition, offering moments of clarity within the bold rhythm of brushwork. The result is a piece that feels architectural yet organic, alive with a sense of forward motion.

Lewis, an ancestor of baseball's legendary pitcher Cy Young, carries a remarkable heritage that enhances the collectability of his art. For collectors, his work offers not only a striking contribution to contemporary abstraction but also a cultural connection to America's pastime through one of its most iconic figures. This dual legacy fine art mastery and sporting history places his works in a uniquely desirable position within the auction market.

This painting demonstrates the confidence of gestural abstraction while maintaining Lewis's distinctive voice, evoking comparisons to mid-century Abstract Expressionists while standing firmly in the present.
