My interior design background often reappears as part of my art. I often create a repetition of patterns, motifs, shapes and forms that in the end look like textiles, wallpapers or tiles without thinking about it. My love of African tribal arts spontaneously appears in my work. Wearing a certain African textile can be used to tell a story of place, emotion or identity. “Urban Tribal” is imagined as a futuristic tribal textile that is not connected to a culture but of a strong city attitude. Things of the future/past like books, imagined tribal patterns, telephone books, advertisements and a new minimalized graffiti are boldly ingrained in this textile.

SAMUEL FLEMING LEWIS ARTIST STATEMENT I am an American artist best known for my abstract mixed media works on paper, collage works on canvas, and blind contour portrait drawings. The foundation of my work is collage. Incorporating my drawing or drafting methods with recycled printed materials, graphic design, and African art, I create collages. My collage pieces unite geometric shapes, abstracted forms, repetition, color, and patterns. I'm currently producing archival-quality digital monoprints by reinventing my collage, painting, and drawing works with new colors and compositions. My abstract representations of what I see or feel in my mind's eye are my blind contour portraits. I have complete freedom to create abstract portraits thanks to the drawing technique. While studying faces on images or African masks, I use graphite pencil, ink, oil-stick, or acrylic markers. I also utilize my face or body as a model by touching it while drawing. I want the handmade quality of my collages and drawings to attract the interest of viewers. As an artist, I produce vibrant graphic compositions that allow viewers to drift into the realm of artistic expression. Some of my works subtly raises awareness of prejudice, injustice, racial bias, homophobia, human rights, and other concerns while simultaneously being visually appealing.
