Lewis Foster

Lewis is a Detroit-based artist working out of the PASC Detroit studio. Lewis makes realist drawings featuring neat rows of serial images of objects, from modernist furniture to vehicles, to advertisements and archaeological artifacts. Recently, he has expanded his work to include figurative characters rendered in pen and watercolor. He often works from art and design books, magazines, and guidebooks to depict his catalog of objects in precise and tightly detailed renderings using colored pencils.

Lewis has exhibited at the University of Michigan, Institute for the Humanities, Ann Arbor, MI (2025); NADA WC x PASC, Miami, FL (2024); Open Invitational, Miami, FL (2024); PASC Detroit Gallery, Detroit, MI (2024/25); Art Enables, Washington, DC (2024); PASC at BasBlue, Deroit, MI (2024); MOCAD, Detroit, MI (2023); SAGE Studio, Austin, TX (2023); the PASC Detroit Pop-Up Gallery, Detroit, MI (2022); Detroit Repertory Theatre, Detroit, MI (2022); Art Gallery at Westland City Hall (2022); Swords Into Plowshares Gallery, Detroit (2022); The Scarab Club, Detroit (2021); and online exhibitions with PASC (2021). As of 2024, his work has been acquired by the Cranbrook Art Museum for their permanent collection.
