NATE LEWIS
Born in Beaver Falls, PA (1985). Lives and works in New York City.
Nate Lewis is recognized for his intricate works on paper, which combine elements of photography, printmaking, sculpture and drawing. The figurative works feature dancers caught in motion with limbs intertwined against backgrounds of embossed textures, fabric rubs, colored inks and curvilinear shapes, which not only envelop but also respond to the movement, appearing as sound waves and currents.
Nate Lewis holds a bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from Virginia Commonwealth University, and practiced critical-care nursing for nine years. Lewis’s work has been exhibited at The California African American Museum, The Studio Museum in Harlem, The Yale Center for British Art, and in Men of Change: Power, Triumph, Truth, touring with the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Services. Past residencies include Pioneer Works, Dieu Donne, Fountainhead, and the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. Lewis’s work is in the collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Virginia Museum of Fine Art, the Brooklyn Museum, The Studio Museum in Harlem, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Wellin Museum of Art, the Blanton Museum of Art, Grinnell College Museum of Art, Kadist Foundation, and other institutions. He lectured at Yale University as part of Claudia Rankine’s Racial Imaginary Institute.
