Jon Lewis

feature artist Jon Lewis Damien Minton Gallery Jon Lewis has been exhibiting photography since 1974. He was a member of Sydney’s “Yellow House” in the early 1970s and an early exponent of experimental video art. Lewis has held solo exhibitions throughout Australia and internationally, and his work is held in major public and private collections. A founder of Greenpeace Australia, Lewis’ love of nature is evident in his art, he writes: “I talk to animals and trees and rocks...the photographs you see here are their reply.” His latest images come from the Southern Highlands, where the artist lives and works. Lewis has taken inspiration from the mythology of the two local indigenous ancestors, Garangatch and Mirrigan. According to legend, the local countryside was brought into existence through their ferocious battle. ‘From the Ranges’ is showing at Damien Minton Gallery until 26 May.
