Masterpiece/…, Lewis Foster & Nick Granch, is a 2-person exhibition featuring PASC artists Lewis Foster and Nicholas “Nick” Granch. This is the first comprehensive exhibition featuring a large selection of both artists’ artworks spanning the past three years. This exhibition highlights their distinct visual languages, presenting two strong and individual artistic practices in dialogue.
Together, these two artists are marked by durational practices and a high attention to detail. Lewis’s approach is informed by the instructional clarity and painterly traditions of Bob Ross and William “Bill” Alexander, reflecting his fluid and confident approach to rendering subjects. Like these prolific artists, Lewis produces between 1-2 finished pieces in a day. Nick creates highly detailed drawings that take him weeks or months to finish. Beginning with preliminary sketches developed in his sketchbook, using a myriad of sources, Nick’s compositions will present scenes of churches or a pile of jellybeans, in which each brick or minute jellybean is rendered in computer-like exactitude. Audiences will be excited by the details and stories within stories present in both artists artworks.
