Nate Lewis – Cloaked Tensions

Nate Lewis is a New York City and Washington, D.C. based artist originally from Beaver Falls, PA. Working with figurative and portrait styled imagery, Lewis creates sculpted paper photo works that highlight bodies and the unseen tensions of the past, present and future. These images utilise diagnostic lenses and contrast dyes to reveal erased and unknown histories, and toggle the lines between presence and absence, as well as distortion and illusion. He aims to challenge our lenses and the powers that hold our attention with the intention of creating opportunities to question and alter perspectives in a time where our information feeds are severely controlled by the digital world. Lewis was a Fall 2017 Visual Arts resident at Pioneer Works and has exhibited his work throughout Washington DC, Baltimore, Miami, New York, Houston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
