Tony Lewis — rando and/or andro
Tony Lewis

rando and/or andro

2013

Tony Lewis's *rando and/or andro* presents a characteristically enigmatic interplay of language and abstraction, with fragmented text and gestural mark-making that hover between legibility and dissolution. Lewis's signature approach of layering graphite and written language creates a tension between meaning and visual form, inviting the viewer to negotiate the boundary between word and image. The work embodies a quiet yet charged ambiguity, reflecting the artist's ongoing investigation into how language shapes—and destabilizes—perception.
