Biography

Lewis Brander was born in London in 1995. He studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths College graduating in 2018, before moving to Athens, Greece. In 2021 he returned to London where he now lives and works from a studio in East London. The artist’s first solo exhibition in London and first exhibition with Vardaxoglou Gallery took place in July 2022.

In ArtReview, Tom Morton writes “For an artist born in 1995, there's much that is curiously retrograde in [Lewis] Brander's painterly address. There are elements of J.M. W. Turner's light-strafed romanticism and of James McNeill Whistler's misty urban sublime, traces of Brice Marden's fields of fine-tuned colour and of Howard Hodgkin's heat-hazed, near-abstract landscapes. At his best, Brander employs landscape as a method of drawing disparate moments - even histories - together into a single image. What he paints is not only space, but also time.”
