Spencer Lewis Brings Monumental Paintings to Ibiza’s La Nave Salinas

This summer, Fundación La Nave Salinas in Ibiza presents a powerful solo exhibition by American artist Spencer Lewis. Titled La noche de día (Night by Day), the show marks the culmination of four years of planning between Lewis and the foundation’s founder, Lio Malca. Installed within the dramatic setting of a former 1940s salt warehouse overlooking Las Salinas beach, the exhibition features a series of new, monumental site-specific paintings. 

Known for his raw, gestural abstraction, Lewis continues his exploration of color, texture, and spatial tension—building upon the legacy of Modernist masters like Hans Hofmann and Willem de Kooning. His layered, emotionally charged surfaces invite viewers into a shifting dialogue between chaos and control. Each brushstroke feels both spontaneous and carefully considered, creating compositions that reward slow, immersive looking.
