Lewis is the great-grand-nephew of the legendary Hall of Fame pitcher Denton True “Cy” Young. While the Cy Young name represents athletic history, this collection marks the family's artistic legacy. Direct stewardship by the artist’s kin ensures a seamless history of ownership, making this piece a significant heritage asset for collectors of both contemporary fine art and American history.

The Piece "020-25" is a high-impact study in kinetic movement and primary-influenced contrast. The composition is dominated by a bold Royal Blue and radiant Canary Yellow, set against a crisp White ground. Splashes of Crimson Red add a layer of warmth and complexity, while thick, architectural Black gestural lines slice through the color, creating a sense of explosive energy. This "Action Painting" style reflects Lewis’s early roots in the Southern California art scene—a place where color is used with a confident, cinematic "Pop" sensibility. Housed in a custom black gallery frame, the work serves as a powerful, high-energy focal point.

The Artist Mark Lewis’s path to the canvas is a uniquely American success story. A U.S. Navy veteran who traveled the world, Lewis later found success as an actor in Hollywood, appearing in ER and Anger Management. This varied life experience—from military discipline to cinematic storytelling—is distilled into his "living art." Based in Southern California, Lewis is celebrated for textured surfaces that respond dynamically to shifting light, a quality that ensures the work remains immersive and "not flat."
