Mark Lewis (b. 1958) is the great-grand-nephew of the legendary Hall of Fame pitcher Denton True “Cy” Young. As a collateral descendant of the baseball icon, Lewis represents the living heritage of a storied American bloodline. This direct stewardship by the artist’s kin provides collectors with a rare historical narrative that bridges the Golden Age of American sports with contemporary West Coast modernism.

The Piece "007-25" is a masterful study in "organic modernism," featuring a warm, sophisticated palette of golden ochre, creamy parchment, and subtle mineral greys. Lewis utilizes a signature "action painting" technique, layering gestural sweeps of impasto to create a topographical texture that catches the light from various angles. The composition is grounded by a bold, black gallery-grade frame that offers a striking contrast to the painting’s luminous core. This piece is particularly well-suited for high-end residential projects—such as a modern office or a "Quiet Luxury" living space—where a single confident artwork is needed to anchor the room.

The Artist Mark Lewis is a Southern California-based modernist with a career that spans both the fine art scene and the Hollywood film industry. His work is celebrated for its "living" quality—textured surfaces that respond beautifully to shifting light. Lewis’s abstracts are featured in notable private collections and are prized for their bridge between historic American roots and contemporary West Coast aesthetics.
