The 2006 Exhibition at the Chausse-Coqs Gallery
The bordom of sitting at the gallery and minding the pictures is only comparable to that of an aeroport lounge when your flight is being regularly delayed every 47 minutes. I was lucky this time, - I had a good travelling companion, my scetch book!
So, first, I went to the circus ...
Then, I looked out onto the street and saw:
Care-free locals ...
... and
Mum!
...and
Dad!
Than I imagined myself a hot-selling artist ...
... looks like I have a fan!

Watching the desperate swimming instructors revealing the secrets of their aquatic skills is one of the things you do to fight off the boredom of swimmimng-pools.

About Me
- Yelena Lewis
- Having been born and bred in the Russia of the pre-Perestroika era left me with the great gift of emotional dependence upon family and friends, as well as the advantages of a cheerful disrespect for any sort of propoganda or any kind of authority. I've recieved my education in Brezhnev's Russia and Blair's Britain and have lived in Moscow in the USSR, Newcastle on Tyne and London in Britain, Eindhoven in the Netherlands, Geneva in Switzerland before settling down in France. I feel I have a few stories to tell combined with a strong desire for an audience: the resulting hot-pot can be found in my paintings, some of which are found on this website. It gives me great pleasure to work in different styles, as it signifies fun and freedom, the qualities greatly appriciated by anybody who, like me, has had an experience of a totalitarian upbringing. Similarly, I use any medium available to paint with: oil, watercolours, gouache, charcoal, pure pigments, pencil, ink, pastel, acril - anything! - and on any support: paper, wood panels, cardboard, canvass, etc.
