Lewis Deeney has had an exceptional year, following on from previous years populated with shows, prizes, and shortlists. He graduated with distinction in MFA Art & Humanities from DJCAD, and the university bought his piece “the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible’, for their public collection – the second time they’ve bought one of his works. Lewis currently has a solo show running, ‘Becoming’, following his solo show last year, ‘Everyone & No One’, at Dock Street Studios in Dundee. What’s more Lewis had his first exhibition abroad, as part of two group shows in Alesund, Norway. His paintings were shortlisted numerous times in 2021, for: Artist Lounge Artist of the Year (semi-finalist), Visual Artist Open Emerging Artist Award, and the D31 Gallery Prize.
