Richard Lewer’s personal mantra, ‘skill, discipline and training’, is analogous to both his art making and pursuit of sport. For Lewer, sport is about relationships and community, camaraderie and belonging. Working in painting, drawing, video and animation, Lewer has literally integrated athletic training into his practice, which has culminated in performances incorporating boxing, wood-chopping and table tennis.
