Richard Lewer

Multi-disciplinary artist Richard Lewer works across painting, drawing and animation to explore the human condition. Through his highly autobiographical practice, Lewer illuminates universal and challenging subjects, such as crime, religion, health, and grief. This exhibition brings together key series that reflect Lewer’s lived experience of Catholicism and the rituals and moral framework that underpin it. Extending on the exhibition’s themes, a new series of paintings commissioned by Geelong Gallery and inspired by the Last Judgement will be premiered.
