About Artist:
Barton Lewis is a Brooklyn-based filmmaker and photographer whose work centers around features and fixtures of the street and subway transformed by street artists and organic decay. His wall cuts (subway panels where print advertising is displayed and removed) are featured in the May-June 2023 issue of The Harvard Business Review, in an article on performance marketing and brand building, and in an exhibit at Gallery 85, in the lobby of Google’s New York headquarters, running through July 2023. His photographs of construction fences were shown in The Indian Photo Festival, in Hyderabad, in October 2022, and at the Barcelona Foto Biennale, the same month. Before turning to photography in 2018, Barton made films about natural light and the urban landscape. His work has been shown in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Szczecin, Poland and elsewhere in the US and Europe.
About Artwork:
Wall cuts are panels in New York City subway stations where print advertising is displayed. Transit workers remove or paper over posters; "subway artists" tear layers to create collage-like effects and add graffiti; time passes and paper deteriorates.
The results are a revolving display of found or accidental art, created on the fly and over time, through intentional acts and benign neglect.
The panels are remarkable for their intrinsic beauty, variety and range of effect, and for being the product of random forces and human design.
