About the artist

Jo Lewis is a British artist based in London. Trained in Edinburgh and the École des Beaux-Arts, Valence, Jo makes ink drawings and large scale works on paper.

Jo’s work happens in the moving waters of rivers, the sea, lakes and streams. Jo uses ink and watercolour, their endless nuance and subtlety associated for centuries with artists that work outside.

‘For me, to embark on a drawing is to embark on a conversation. Water has a crystalline and spontaneous responsiveness. It takes shape according to whatever it encounters and demands the same of me. The water, the stone and rocks, and me, we are all in process. I find that vitality very exciting, a realisation of “the pulsations of the invisible in which all things are soaked.” (Francois Cheng)

Jo exhibits regularly in the UK and France and also works to commission. Her work is in the collections of multiple institutions including the More London Collection of Contemporary Art, The Royal College of Music, Raffles Hotels, Ripple USA, Ashtead Hospital, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and 22 Bishopsgate, London. In 2020 Jo was shortlisted for the Edge Arts Visions of Science award and recently was invited to present her work at the Drawing Research Network Conference, ‘Temporal Drawing.’
