Synopsis

The Self as a Stranger is a detailed view of the extraordinary career of British artist Simon Lewty. This long overdue monograph brings together a collection of works from 1957 to the present to provide a survey of the fascinating work of Lewty, who has been integrating word and image in his large-scale drawings and painting for over 30 years. Often rooted in Medieval illumination and map-making traditions, his works create a compelling dream-like reality that recalls forgotten worlds and explores the inevitability of the passing of time. Through his vivid poetic narratives, he creates a unique and rich evocation of the enigmatic in mind, body and place. The Self as a Stranger features critical writings on Lewty s work from a variety of distinguished writers, including highly informative contributions from the artist himself. Published to coincide with a major exhibition at Art First, The Self as a Stranger is the first comprehensive collection of the artist's work spanning the past 40 years, and examines the enduring importance of Simon Lewty's contribution to contemporary fine art.
