Henry Lewis (born 1957) is an Australian artist and photographer. At 19, he left Australia for the United States and studied at the San Francisco Art Institute (1977-1980). From there, he and his wife Christiane decided to move to France. They settled in Forcalquier, in the south of the country, where they found a derelict farm with a huge attached barn. Forcalquier is only about an hour from Robion. In 1990, they moved to Tarascon and then to Puy Chenin, near Xaintray, in western France. They currently live in Burradoo, near Sydney. Among his numerous solo exhibitions are “X-rays” at Galerie Baudoin Lebon in Paris (1989) and “LVNA PROXIMA” at the Centre Vieille Charité in Marseille (1987). In 1991, he presented his work at Galerie Baudoin Lebon in Découvertes, Grand Palais in Paris, and at Galerie Porte Avion in Marseille, together with the French painter and sculptor Christiane Thomas, under the name Lewis Thomas. His works are part of the collections of the Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), the Centre National d’Art Moderne Georges Pompidou (Paris), the Musée Cantini (Marseille), and the Ludwig Museum (Cologne).
