Zane Lewis (born 1981, San Antonio, Texas) is an American artist who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.〔 (''Artpace Gala Happenings'' ), ARTPACE News, 16 April 2014.〕〔Slenske, Michael. ("Spray It Loud" ), ''Wmagazine.com'', 10 July 2014. Retrieved 28 July 2014.〕 Lewis studied fine art at the School of Visual Arts, The Atlanta College of Art, and briefly Pratt Institute, graduating with a BFA focus in sculpture from the Atlanta College of Art, on campus and affiliated with the High Museum of Art. At the time Lewis was the youngest artist ever to exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Georgia, having been commissioned by the museum to create an installation before graduating with his degree.〔Bollen, Christopher. ("Zane Lewis Makes Art Bleed" ), ''VMAN'', Spring/Summer 2008. Retrieved 23 December 2008.〕 Lewis's early works blur conventional distinctions between painting and sculpture by presenting his work in an installation-type format. For example, Lewis developed a unique drip painting technique that allowed different paint colors to combine without mixing, and to retain a wet look.〔 ("Biography: Zane Lewis" ), ''www.Artsy.net'', July 2015.〕 These cascades of poured paint leaked from canvases and spilled onto the floor of the exhibition space. Christopher Bollen, Editor of ''Interview'' Magazine, called this method of Lewis' "making art bleed."〔Bollen, Christopher. ("Zane Lewis Makes Art Bleed" ), ''VMAN'', Spring/Summer 2008. Retrieved 23 December 2008.〕 "The artist allows the gash to “bleed” brightly colored paint (which he has applied), in order to express a transient and dying glamor."〔(Zane Lewis, Untitled (Mirror Study) archived at Whitney Art Party artists ) 〕 The ''Wall Street Journal'' included Lewis in an article titled "The 23-Year Old Masters," along with Ryan Trecartin, Jordan Wolfson and Dash Snow〔Crow, Kelly. ("The 23-Year Old Masters" ), ''Wall Street Journal'', 17 April 2006. Retrieved 23 December 2008.〕 in a selection of ten top emerging US artists. The Whitney Museum of American Art has exhibited his work at the museum's ArtParty Auction in conjunction with Phillips de Pury and featured Lewis as a "Groundbreaker" artist in the Whitney Museum groundbreaking ceremony for the new location in lower Manhattan.〔Davis, Peter. ( "Whitney Art Party 2010" ), VOGUE Italia, 10 June 2010. Retrieved 11 October 2010.〕〔 Lewis has become an elusive figure, often absent from the public eye and distanced from the art world.〔 ("Interview with Zane Lewis" ), ''Huffington Post ARTS & CULTURE'', Retrieved 25 August 2011.〕 He’s known to avoid interviews and to have denied reputable collectors studio visits or simply allowing them to view his studio by themselves. In 2009-2012 his own website once stated that he was dead, however this was proven false.〔"Zane Lewis is temporarily dead: New York artist interview", "Examiner: Arts & Exhibits", August 10, 2009.〕 Lewis marks this as a "transitional period," which certain elements of his work "had to die." Lewis is also a distant cousin of James Dean.〔 ==Notes and references== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zane Lewis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
