• William Lewis: Rapid Oxidation

• Opening Reception: Friday, May 4, 2012 5-8pm
• Exhibition: May 3 through June 1, 2012

• Enso Artspace kicks off its Guest Artist Program with new work by William Lewis. Lewis continues the subject of fire and the sublime qualities of disintegration first investigated in his series “Burn Pile,” paintings of scrap and brush piles on his brother’s Alabama farm. In Rapid Oxidation, Lewis’ large-scale paintings on paper evoke the raw beauty of a bonfire. Other works in the exhibition explore the domesticated campfire as a motif. These paintings, ranging from small gouaches to large oils have an emblematic and contemplative nature in contrast to the dramatic theme of the bonfire works.
