Notes


“This new work on paper has come out of a series of text works. With a formal framework in place I have been considering the effects of colour and the concept of boundaries in the composition. These works are deeply personal and I am really excited about them: they are bringing me to a place where I can play with the complex themes in my work in a fresh and exciting way. After a very long period of ill health, I finally found space in my life to listen to my body, but also gather my experiences in painting and image making to find a sweet spot. The current works on paper are originals and not intended to be studies for paintings, but a meditation in colour; an intuitive study on the complex effect visual art has on the nervous system.” - Anna Liber Lewis, 2021

Lewis’ artistic output is often centred around female sexuality and challenging representations of woman by men.  Colour and shape are essential to her work, but it resists classification as the complex relationship between a desire for personal agency and the need to constantly redefine the space required to house that autonomy. The paintings shift between what is seen and what is felt; somewhere between control and surrender, they morph between the act of looking and the manifestation of a sensation; be that flirtatious glances, desire or defiance.  

Liber Lewis describes painting as an attitude: “It serves as a physical intelligence and makes the most sense when described in relation to the body. It’s the excess of energy that if given the chance might hit or fuck you. It’s about marks and scale and surface and form and colour and how those things affect you. Each painting comes from an encounter.”
