Sin Sin Fine Art is delighted to present a solo exhibition by American artist, Rick Lewis : Wind Against Tide. This exhibition features three series that build on the artist’s vernacular abstraction from nature: Silver Lake; Reflection; and Untitled, a group of works on paper.

Through an editorial process of layering and scraping back paint, soil, and loose pigment, Lewis’s paintings are palimpsests, or memory records. Through the interplay of surface and ground, Lewis shapes layers of paint to recall environments once experienced. The physical intelligence of these palimpsest surfaces is remarkable.
