Expert Talk by Peter Higginson
The World According to Tim Lewis
Tim Lewis’s art is not an easily categorizable one. His work embraces a wide range of themes and concerns: from relationships between nature and technology, artificial intelligence, kinetics, science fiction to the making of art itself. For him the human condition is a puzzling one that is inventive, strange, humorous and playful.
Drawing from examples in the exhibition itself and other works from the artist’s career, Peter Higginson seeks to appraise the world perception of this unique and richly imaginative artist.
