Lewis LaBrashe'
fluid art expressionist
Lewis LaBrashe stands apart from the crowd of traditional painters, creating pieces that go far beyond decoration. His work is a raw expression of his inner world, capturing emotions and energies that lie beneath the visible. In his latest series, Deep Waters, LaBrashe channels his lifelong relationship with the ocean, using its powerful mystery as a metaphor for the human experience. Each painting is an invitation to look within, to explore the "unseen" forces that move us all.
As a Fluid Art Expressionist, LaBrashe doesn’t just paint landscapes; he reveals himself through his art. He describes his approach as painting from the inside out, driven by personal experience, a philosophy he often sums up by saying, “Landscape artists paint what they see; expressionists paint who they are.” This perspective shapes every piece he creates, giving his work a sense of motion and life that transcends the physical world.
LaBrashe's life in art has spanned various mediums, from custom-designed Tibetan rugs to large public art exhibitions. His background in interior design adds depth to his understanding of space and form, while his technical skills allow his work to flow with an unrestrained energy. True to his process, he often jokes about framing a piece of his studio floor as a testament to his expressive, fluid style. Deep Waters isn’t just a series; it’s an experience—a journey into the depths of self and soul.
