Not every love story begins underneath a pomegranate tree in Greece, but George and David Lewis` did.
After years of friendship and creative partnership, George and David traveled to Greece together. While walking along a busy street, David fell ill and lost consciousness, and George carried him to safety in the shade. When David came to under a pomegranate tree, the sun formed a halo behind George, and David realized, “This is it.”
The pomegranates that appear throughout their work, both as standalone sculptures and within other pieces, are a tribute to the tree where their love story began. See the fruits of their labor and love at their exhibition "Deeply Rooted," on view now at BIMA!
