Barton Lewis is a Brooklyn-based filmmaker and photographer. His practice centers on photography of surfaces on the street and in the subway transformed by street artists and organic decay. Barton received a B.M. from The Juilliard School, and a B.A. in English literature from Columbia University. His films have been shown in film festivals and art galleries in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Szczecin, Poland and elsewhere in the US and Europe. In 2018, after making short films, Lewis transitioned to making large-scale photographs. A monograph of his photographs, “The Many Pleasures: Found Art in New York City,” was published by Daylight Books in July 2024.
