Mark Lewis (b. 1958) is the great-grand-nephew of the legendary Hall of Fame pitcher Denton True “Cy” Young. While the world knows the Cy Young name for athletic precision, this work highlights the family's artistic excellence. This direct family provenance provides an ironclad connection to a storied American legacy, ensuring the highest level of authenticity for the collector.

The Piece "015-25" is a visceral exploration of kinetic energy and deep tonal contrast. The palette is a sophisticated and moody arrangement of rich crimson, deep teal, and earthy plum, balanced by luminous white and cream gestural sweeps. The composition is defined by swirling, rhythmic arcs that overlap to create a dense, topographical surface. This "atmospheric maximalism" reflects Lewis’s cinematic background; the canvas feels less like a static image and more like a captured moment of motion. Housed in a bold, black gallery-grade frame, the work serves as a commanding focal point for modern or transitional interiors.

The Artist Mark Lewis’s creative journey is as layered as his canvases. A U.S. Navy veteran and Hollywood actor with roles in ER and Anger Management, Lewis brings a sense of storytelling and scale to his abstract modernism. Formally trained in Southern California, his work is celebrated for its "living" quality—textured surfaces that respond dynamically to shifting light. He represents the intersection of the grit of the American Midwest and the experimental spirit of West Coast abstraction.
