ABOUT

Lex Lucius lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Born in 1959 in Colorado, Lucius holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking from California College of the Arts, San Francisco and a Master of Fine Arts from University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. A master in painting, sculpture fabrication and printmaking, Lucius has found his muse in sport horses. Currently working in acrylic, ink and gesso on wood panel, his paintings invoke feelings of strength, determination and beauty of movement.

Known early in his career for his unique custom patinas, Lucius worked with many fine artists across the nation such as Bruce Beasley, Stephen De Staebler, Peter Voulkos, Fletcher Benton, Nathan Oliveira, Robert Graham and Arnaldo Pomodoro. Lucius is the sole fabricator of Herbert Bayer’s iconic sculpture. He meticulously creates each piece according to Mr. Bayer’s specifications, whether it be a 24” tabletop piece or a 25’ installation. In addition, Lucius constructs his own monumental sculptures in his fabrication shop.

Along with his recent solo show at Peyton Wright Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Lucius has exhibited in galleries throughout Northern California New York City, New Orleans and Vancouver, BC. Lucius’s work was selected for the 2021-22 New Mexico Art’s Art in Public Places Prospectus. His work can also be found in many private collections. Current media coverage includes LandEscape Art Review, London, United Kingdom; Magazine 43, Berlin, Manila, Hong Kong; 805 Lit + Art; The Working Artist; and Another Chicago Magazine.

Lucius is currently represented by Peyton Wright Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico; Brian Raitman Gallery, Breckenridge/Vail, Colorado and Courtney Collins Gallery, Big Sky, Montana.
