Nate Lewis, Signalling XXIII, 2020. Hand-sculpted inkjet print, ink, graphite, frottage. 26 in x 40 in.

Fridman Gallery is pleased to present Latent Tapestries, a presentation of new work by New York-based, multidisciplinary artist Nate Lewis. This exhibition marks the artist's first solo exhibition in New York. Latent Tapestries is on view from March 1 until April 5, 2020, at Fridman Gallery (169 Bowery).

Combining elements of photography, sculpture, frottage, ink, and graphite drawings, Lewis’ intricately carved works on paper reflect his experience as a critical-care nurse and challenge perspectives on race and history. Treating the paper as an organism, he sculpts patterns and textures akin to cellular tissue and uncovers anatomies of photographed subjects.
