Krystal Lewis’s work explores the intersection of celebrity, fashion, and identity. Her graphic drawings, rendered in flat swatches of color, often describe women with a keen sense of style. Gold earrings, high heels, and dramatic rouge adorn supermodels in a pool, lone figures striking a pose, girl groups from the early aughts at a photoshoot. Lewis’s artist books feature hundreds of collages from magazines like People, incorporating her own drawings of elegant garments alongside photos of celebrities like Rihanna and Jennifer Aniston. “I would like people to see me as independent,” Lewis says. The subjects in her work reflect a similar sense of self trust.
