Edel Assanti is delighted to participate in London Gallery Weekend 2026, and presents London-based artist Dale Lewis' first UK solo in five years Lost Illusions. Working at scale in a mixture of acrylic, oil and spray paint, Lewis’ paintings continue a line of enquiry into the social fabric of contemporary life underpinned by the themes that have always animated his work: class, national identity, sex, labour, mental health, nature and technology.
Whilst Lewis’ oeuvre to date has been defined by the artist’s sardonic wit and a specifically British bleak humour, the works in Lost Illusions are sincere in their candidness. Their subjects - his own deceased grandfather, a friend of his family, an ex-boyfriend's father, Lewis himself - are delicately rendered, implicating the artist in honest depictions of everyday life.
The gallery will have extended hours across our Fitzrovia and St James's galleries:
