Mark Lewis (b. 1958) 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 precision, this work highlights the family's artistic lineage. 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 "033-25" is a visceral study in transparency, light, and chromatic saturation. The palette is a sophisticated arrangement of Electric Magenta and Deep Violet, balanced by luminous Azure and Teal undertones. Lewis utilizes his signature "Action Painting" style to create a "shattered" geometric effect, but here it is softened by fluid, translucent washes that suggest a cinematic or digital glow. This piece reflects Lewis’s background as a Hollywood actor; the work is inherently theatrical, using light and shadow to create a sense of depth and motion that responds dynamically to shifting environmental light. Housed in a custom Black gallery-grade frame, the work serves as a high-impact, modern anchor for maximalist or contemporary interiors.

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, with credits in ER and Anger Management. This varied life experience—from military discipline to visual storytelling—is distilled into his "living art." Based in Southern California, Lewis is celebrated for textured surfaces that bridge the grit of his Midwestern roots with the experimental, luminous spirit of West Coast modernist aesthetics.
