Shadows #3
Signed and dated upper left: Michael H. Lewis 2000
Description
The artist’s technique in his own words: “In 1975 I developed a technique for washing oil paint onto paper using turpentine. This led to a spontaneous and improvisational kind of painting that had prompted me to work in an increasingly intuitive manner. I visit specific locations many times, return to my studio, and work from memory and invention. I want to create paintings in which viewers recognize a real landscape but do not get locked into the specific details of the ‘present’ moment.”
