Richard Lewer’s ‘Steve’ acquired by the NGA

Richard Lewer’s body of work ‘Steve’ (2023-24) has recently been acquired by the National Gallery of Australia (NGA). Incorporating a stop-motion animation and 14 paintings on Laminex tabletops, this body of work tells the story of Steve and his family as they come to terms with his Dementia diagnosis.

The exhibition ‘Richard Lewer: Steve’ will open at the NGA this December before it will tour nationally.
