M.J. Lew Art

M.J. Lew is an American artist based in Chicago, Illinois. His Chicago studio contains a collection of water filled jars and bottles labeled with distant locales like The Mediterranean, Turkey, France, Lourdes and Kauai. Lew says he loves water because he grew up near Lake Tahoe. He felt that if he took the water from all different parts of the world and used it in his paintings, it would bring that resonance of nature into art and into his viewers’ homes. Lewis has built a following and a reputation by richly creating photographs and textured paintings that mix actual seawater with his paintings. He studied Art History in Spain for three years. His love for color, travel and design gave way to an urgent and thought provoking new way of expressing his views of the society and the world on canvas. Framed M.J. Lew art can be found in hotels, international retails stores, as well as private, public and corporate collections. His subjects are often guided by what he fancies at any given time, and they are very diverse. He has however often captured the beautiful places he visits, animals and plants. Lew makes his paintings on paper and canvas in order to achieve the most befitting texture for every artwork he creates. His work is an interpretation of his journey and the expression of how he connects with nature. His works are in great demand worldwide because of their quality and uniqueness. He has held many exhibitions both solo and in groups.
