Lewi Quinn

Is ecstasy more dangerous than horse riding? What’s with all the televisions everywhere? Why is everyone clapping for the wrong reasons? And, who is Kerry?

These are just some of the questions Lewi Quinn’s works have raised in his, as yet brief, stint as an art-man. 

Posing such endless, perpetual ponderings through a use of reclaimed TV sets, emotive acting skills, inexplicable yet seamless editing style and a particular attention to peculiar paraphernalia, Lewi constructs video based immersive installations. These are the mechanics behind his investigations into the mind and how one may modify, mess with and mock it. 


Means of escape - the psychological, philosophical and psychopharmacological debates and investigations in to the adoption of escapism, by whatever means, as a method of transcending one’s reality dominate the critical thought of Lewi Quinn’s work. This becomes apparent on entering the hazily-trippy video environments he creates.
