Mark Lewis (b. 1958) is the great-grand-nephew of the legendary Hall of Fame pitcher Denton True “Cy” Young. While the Cy Young name is synonymous with American athletic precision, this collection highlights the family’s enduring creative mastery. Acquiring this piece directly from the artist's kin provides an impeccable line of provenance, making it a significant heritage asset for collectors of modern fine art.

The Piece "038-25" is a visceral exploration of "Atmospheric Darkness" punctuated by bursts of chromatic energy. The palette is a mature arrangement of Deep Forest Green, Slate, and Charcoal, which provides a shadowy stage for the sweeping, textural arcs of Peach and Salmon. Lewis utilizes a signature "Action Painting" technique, most evident in the bold, architectural Crimson horizontal stroke that commands the center of the frame. This "living art" reflects his background as a Hollywood actor; the composition is inherently cinematic, utilizing high-relief impasto and layered transparency to create a 3D depth that shifts with the light. Presented in a statement Brushed Gold gallery frame, the work serves as a sophisticated, moody anchor for high-end minimalist or "Organic Modern" interiors.

The Artist Mark Lewis’s creative path is uniquely American. 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 visual storytelling—is distilled into his textured canvases. Based in Southern California, Lewis is celebrated for his "non-flat" technique, ensuring his work responds dynamically to its environment, bridging his Midwestern roots with West Coast modernist aesthetics.
