LEWIS DEENEY

Lewis Deeney’s work is instantly recognisable; his unique creative process uses interlocking geometric forms that bring together gestural abstraction and defined structure. His compelling and often paradoxical paintworks harmonise chaos and order, presenting transcendent expanses of bold textures and shimmering colours.

Scottish-born, Lewis grew up in Dumbarton before moving to Dundee to pursue a contemporary art degree in which he graduated with a first-class honours in 2020. Lewis won both the James Guthrie Orchar Memorial Prize and the Farquar Reid Trust Prize during his degree show, as well as being selected for the Freelands Painting Prize. After being awarded the William S Phillips award, a bursary for his tuition fees, Lewis continued his studies at DJCAD graduating with merit in MFA Art & Humanities in 2021.

Within one year of graduating, Lewis has had two successful solo shows in Scotland and his paintings have been collected by public institutions and private collectors across the UK & Europe. Currently Lewis works between Belfast and Glasgow.
