“Lewis has taken steps in innovative directions for this exhibition, including new mediums and processes. Watercut wood and brushed steal are used as part of functional pieces that can be hung on the wall or utilized as a side table. The cats and wiener dogs that were tremendously popular during Lewis’ previous show at Westland gallery will make their long-awaited return. Winnie, Lewis’ wiener-dog, is his ‘number one’ muse.” – Harper Wellman, Intern from Western University currently on placement at Westland Gallery.
 
Figurative sculpture pieces, inspired by literature and poetry, mark another first for Lewis. These pieces stand alongside recent original paintings and new silkscreen prints.

One Step Beyond also sees Lewis collaborate with Chris Snedden, a London ceramics artist, on stunning black and white charger plates.  The two artists attended H. B. Beal together, and when they found themselves both back in London, it was the perfect opportunity to work together. Lewis describes Snedden’s work as the “highest level of craftsmanship.”

In the midst the exhibition, Lewis and Westland Gallery will be launching a new collection of Andrew's posters. The posters will be launched, and Andrew will be present to sign them, on Dec 3rd in conjunction with Wortley Village’s annual “Christmas in the Village”. A variety of 12” x 18” printed posters will be available just in time for the holiday season.
 
A public reception will be held on Friday November 25th at 7:30pm. Andrew Lewis will be giving an artist talk on Wednesday November 30th at 7:00pm. The artist talk is free, all may attend. No RSVP required. ​​
