Crafted nigh on the culmination of Lewis’ Seachange series, Untitled, 1978 is one of the most beautiful and gentle works of the series. The rolling waves of iridescent blue pigment are silhouetted against the dark sky of striking green. The composition seems to suggest the flattening of waves and Lewis’ return to the theme of beauty. The long panoramic format of the present work is unusual and striking drawing the viewers’ attention to the rhythmic pattern of repeating rolling waves.
