Episodes / Lewty, Simon ; Hills P., 2000

 Item
Identifier: CC-34954-36669
Scope and Contents

This exhibition consisted of Lewty's textural works, some overlaid with abstract markings rather than surreal creatures as in his earlier works, others purely textural with more formal lettering. In his introductory essay, Paul Hills writes that in these textural paintings, Simon Lewty "has banished the lure of the figurative...to forestall and inclination to read the painting in terms of illustration, thereby bringing us forcibly back to the work as an object, to the look of the whole, to the matter of the text and its material presence." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
