ALMA|LEWIS is thrilled to present its inaugural exhibition Amani Lewis:  Reimagining Care on view October 28, 2021 – February 26, 2022. Lewis debuts a new series of large-scale, mixed-media works on paper, and a capacious wall installation that honor and celebrate the multiplicity and complexities of Black life.

Amani Lewis (b. 1994) is a Miami and Baltimore-based artist whose dynamic, mixed-media paintings foreground their subject’s humanity, agency, and inner resilience. Their creative process incorporates photography, digital collage, screen-printing, and luminous textures into kaleidoscopic, large-scale portraits.  Using expansive patterns of pulsating colors, Lewis recognizes the power and beauty in every individual’s story, cumulatively raising their voice for Black and queer communities at large.

Amani Lewis, we danced with a thousand of our ancestors. I was too little to know that feeling I felt that day was the spirit that moved through me., 2021, mixed media on paper, 48h x 40w inches, Courtesy of the artist
