Mark Lewis Custom Framed Original Painting On Canvas #009-25 (Lewis)

Custom framed display measures 25" x 21" in size with a matte black solid wood frame. Mark Lewis's 009-25 captures the electrifying intersection of athletic movement and painterly intuition. The canvas swirls with streaks of cobalt, bursts of yellow, and strikes of white - each stroke echoing a sense of velocity, almost like the arc of a fastball through air. Layers of acrylic build texture and rhythm, producing a luminous surface that seems alive with motion.

What distinguishes Lewis here is not just his painterly command, but his ancestral link to baseball legend Cy Young. That heritage subtly informs his approach to motion and control - traits central to both pitching and abstract expressionism. In 009-25, the viewer feels that same synthesis of discipline and spontaneity, precision and emotion.

This work situates Lewis among gestural abstractionists like Willem de Kooning, Joan Mitchell, and Hans Hofmann, while maintaining a distinctly modern American sensibility. His use of acrylics creates a crisp vibrancy and textural immediacy that mark his style as contemporary yet steeped in classical abstraction.

Evaluated Rating (1-10)

When compared with abstract artists employing energetic gesture and layered chromatic dynamics (such as De Kooning, Mitchell, and Hofmann):

Holistic Interpretation:

009-25 is among Lewis's most cohesive abstractions - a visual symphony of movement and color that mirrors the momentum of his athletic lineage. While it may not reach the formal innovation of mid-century abstraction's pioneers, it demonstrates a mastery of gestural composition and emotional control that places Lewis solidly among the top emerging abstract painters of his generation.
