Award winning new 2020 graduate: Lewis Deeney

Excited to introduce you to award winning Dundee graduate Lewis Deeney. Scottish born; Lewis grew up in Dumbarton before moving to Dundee to pursue a contemporary art degree, which he graduated from with first-class honours in 2020. Lewis won both the James Guthrie Orchar Memorial Prize and the Farquar Reid Trust Prize during the degree show, as well as being shortlisted for the Freelands Painting Prize.

"A meditation in creation and observation: my work is centred around philosophical and psychological concepts, recontextualised and communicated through the universal language of geometry. Reflecting on humanities instinctive relationship with mark-making, I seek to cultivate mindful awareness during the painting process, acknowledging the 21st-century global mindset - or screen- with which we now experience the world. As a response to our increasingly digital society, I paint very expressively and intuitively: emphasising the human touch and imperfections, which are now often lost during the act of making."
