Exhibition at Hoxton Gallery

Megan and the Beasts of Kaimei is the hotly anticipated solo show by London-based artist Tom Lewis, taking place between 5 - 14 October at the Hoxton Gallery at the Arch, Shoreditch. The exhibition presents some of Lewis’ largest, most immersive and experimental pieces to date, and is an opportunity for visitors to buy his highly sought after works.

Within his work, Lewis uses his fictional heroine, Megan, to explore real life experiences, legends, and stories drawn from his own imagination. Blending elements of ancient mythology, traditional oriental design and contemporary street art, Lewis’ style is unique and instantly recognisable. Each piece adds to the epic patchwork narrative that exists inside Lewis’ head, tip toeing the line between logical meaning and beautiful nonsensical chaos. 

This new show sees Lewis’ continued refinement of process and technique with a collection of dramatic new paintings. His work continues to explore the world introduced to us in previous shows, presenting daydreamy snapshots of Megan's quest to save the last of the soul flowers. In this show Lewis not only experiments with scale, but also introduces his first three-dimensional pieces. The sculptural work, The Mysterious Borobbu, sees him starting to play with the boundaries which separate the 'otherness' of Megan and the Garden of Edo and the reality of the world as we experience it.
