Lewis is the great-grand-nephew of the legendary Hall of Fame pitcher Denton True “Cy” Young. While the world honors the Cy Young name for athletic mastery, this collection celebrates the family’s creative excellence. Direct stewardship by the artist’s kin ensures a seamless heritage line, making this piece a significant asset for collectors of contemporary fine art with deep historical roots.

The Piece "032-25" is a visceral study in kinetic energy and chromatic tension. The palette is dominated by a bold Tangerine Orange and deep Azure Blue, colors that naturally vibrate against one another to create a sense of luminous depth. Lewis utilizes a signature "Action Painting" style, where heavy, "non-flat" Black gestural lines create a skeletal structure over the vibrant field. This piece highlights the artist's Hollywood background; the composition feels cinematic, capturing a moment of explosive motion that responds dynamically to shifting light. Housed in a custom Black gallery-grade frame, the work serves as a commanding, high-energy focal point for modern or transitional estates.

The Artist Mark Lewis’s path to the canvas is a uniquely American story. A U.S. Navy veteran who traveled the world, Lewis later found success as an actor in Hollywood, appearing in ER and the film Anger Management. This varied life experience—from military discipline to the visual storytelling of the film industry—is distilled into his work. Based in Southern California, Lewis is celebrated for his textured surfaces and bold, expressive modernism, bridging the grit of his Midwestern roots with West Coast modernist aesthetics.
