Christian Lewis and Geoff Horn

It’s a story of West meets East.  Lewis-Horn  LLC took flight in early 2012 when LA-based artist/designer Christian Lewis showed New York based art collector/venture capitalist Geoffrey Horn, Lewis’ Peter Tunney collaboration.   Horn snapped up one of the pieces and offered to form a partnership with Lewis.  Leveraging his expertise in corporate financing, marketing and management,  Horn knew he could help take Lewis’s art work  to another level. “Geoffrey was a perfect match: he brought in the clientele through his marketing acumen, his familiarity with New York’s consumers of art, and his corporate experience.  “It’s a ying and yang type of thing” says Lewis. This pairing gave Horn an outlet for his artistic interests while providing new markets for Lewis’s creations.

One of Lewis’s most successful series was inspired by photographer Mick Rock ‘s body of work. Lewis believed that to do justice to the iconic personalities Rock had captured on film over the years, the images literally needed to be immortalized.  “During my conversation with Mick it occurred to me that these images should  stand the test of time,  the way a sculpture does.  I explained to Rock that this could be achieved by etching his images into  non-ferrous metals, brass, bronze, copper and most recently stainless steel, preserving the artwork for centuries to come.  Rock loved the idea.  We shook hands on it, and I produced an etching of Deborah Harry which was featured in his ‘Legends’ show on March 20, 2012 at the CATM Gallery in Chelsea,” explained Lewis.  When the Debbie Harry piece was one of the most popular at the show,  Lewis and Rock realized they were on to something and decided to continue producing etched images.

In the wake of that triumph, Greenwich Village based artist Peter Tunney commissioned  etchings from Lewis, the first of which focused on Tunney's famous Skull works. “Peter saw the work Mick and I did together, and was hooked when  I explained the process and its longevity. It dovetailed with the subject of Tunney’s art endeavor featuring human skulls, the one part of the human skeleton that remains intact the longest.  Peter and I struck a deal and created  four 48” x 58” skull pieces on marine grade stainless steel.”   Lewis and Horn successfully launched the Tunney Skull series of four, etched onto marine grade stainless steel and signed as A.P. by Peter Tunney.

Lewis-Horn LLC  is now creating a new collection of more metal etchings from Rock’s library of work. The newest pieces from the collection will feature a David Bowie and an Iggy Pop image of two each. The David Bowie image will also be issued in a smaller format at a lower a price point.  All the pieces will be signed by Rock. 

Looking beyond his derivative work, Lewis is now creating an original body of etched metal artwork  that is slated to be shown at Mayson Gallery in the East Village and listed in the AHAlife catalogue. Also in development, is a “one-off” collaboration of a mixed-media sculpture of Andy Warhol with legendary photographer Steve Joester. 

Lewis' career has spanned more than a quarter century, and boasts a client list that includes Howard Milken , David Geffen, The Art Deco Preservation Society , and Tom Hanks. His work can be found at The Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust, the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools of Los Angeles, Million Air San Bernadino Airport, The Cocoanut Grove night club and many homes in Beverly Hills, Malibu and now Manhattan.
