Exhibition: Walls Come Tumbling Down by Dean Lewis

26 November 2024 3

A series of pen and watercolour drawings of the demolition of the Newport Centre by Dean Lewis.

In April 2023, demolition of the Newport Centre began. Newport artist, Dean Lewis decided to document the destruction of the Newport Centre, partially for prosperity but also because he can’t resist rubble, decay and destruction!

Frequently, perched by a gate or looking down from the Kingsway carpark, Dean’s face became well-known to the contractors working on the site. Dean soon built up a relationship with the workmen. Unexpectedly, the project took a turn from depicting concrete, metal and heavy machinery to incorporating the workers, focusing on their warmth, humour and camaraderie.

Walls Come Tumbling Down is an exhibition about these overlooked men and their work dismantling the Newport Centre.
