Opening: Saturday 5 November 2022, 12 — 16:00
Galerie Nächst St. Stephen Rosemarie Schwarzwälder is delighted to present paintings by Spencer Lewis, his first solo exhibition in Austria. In four large-scale paintings, Lewis continues his frenetic approach that draws and expands upon the legacies of 20th century abstraction. In so doing, Lewis enacts a wide array of gestures, varying from the misty smudge to the muscular contour, each carrying a distinct function and weight, which are layered and maneuvered into surprising iterations. They result in vivid coagulations of marks, all informed by the artist’s memories, emotional states, and his ongoing process.

Galerie nächst St. Stephan Rosemarie Schwarzwälder
The Galerie nächst St. Stephan represents a lively tradition of engagement with modern art. Since the 1920s, it has been located in the same place in the centre of Vienna at Grünangergasse 1.
With the exhibition: Signs, Floods, Signals – New Constructive and Parallel, Rosemarie Schwarzwälder presented a programme in 1984 whose basic elements are still valid today in numerous solo and group exhibitions. International positions of abstraction and conceptually based art in the fields of painting, sculpture, installation, photography and video are continuously present in the gallery programme.
