The Spirit Within the Form: Stanley Lewis
April 8 2022 Curated by Asta McCann Upper Level 116 Queenston St., Queenston ON Tuesday - Sunday 10 - 5 This exhibition features a selection of stonecut prints by Montreal sculptor and printmaker, Stanley Lewis (1930-2006). The prints are taken from three different series- City Portrait (1974), Explorer (1980), and Creation (1982). The subjects include semi-abstract human figures, the environment, and celestial elements, executed in stylized forms. The Explorer and the Creation series explore allegorical and spiritual themes, which suggest the origins of the universe and humanity. The intimate City Portrait series expresses a variety of human experiences within the urban environment. The Spirit Within the Form highlights a recurring motif throughout Stanley’s art practice and life- the belief that the soul is immortalized within the creative form. |
