Tim Lewis Folk Art Jackalope/Lizard Walking Stick Carved Wood Cane
Est: -
Item Description This exquisite Folk Art carved wood walking stick, masterfully rendered to depict a mythical Jackalope intertwined with a Lizard, is a testament to the remarkable talent of Tim Lewis. Born in 1952 in Kentucky, Lewis has lived a life steeped in the rich traditions of American folk art, his journey marked by diverse experiences from military service to logging, each shaping his artistic vision. The walking stick, signed "Tim Lewis 93" and measuring 35.5 inches in length, embodies the unique blend of natural wonder and folklore that characterizes Lewis's work. Tim Lewis's artistic journey began in the scenic environs of Isonville, Kentucky, where, influenced by his brother Leroy and the illustrious Kentuckian artists Minnie and Garland Adkins, he turned to carving as a means of expression following a harrowing incident in logging. Initially focusing on canes crafted from the root ends of small trees adorned with painted faces and figures, Lewis's artistry evolved to embrace sculpture, predominantly in stone, utilizing tools as simple as a hammer and chisel to bring his visions to life. Despite the challenges posed by arthritis, his dedication to his craft has remained unwavering, with a prolific output that continues to captivate and inspire. This walking stick, once part of the personal collection of a distinguished professor from Arizona State University, holds not just artistic value but also a profound cultural significance. The professor, renowned for his expertise in American Folk Art and his passionate advocacy for "Folk and Outsider Art," saw in this piece a reflection of the rich tapestry of American cultural heritage. His dedication to educating others about the importance and beauty of folk art makes this piece an emblem of both artistic mastery and the enduring legacy of folk traditions in shaping our understanding of American art. The Jackalope and Lizard, creatures of myth and nature, carved with exquisite detail on this walking stick, speak to the imaginative prowess of Tim Lewis. It stands as a remarkable example of folk art's ability to bridge the realms of the real and the fantastical, offering a glimpse into the rich inner world of one of Kentucky's most celebrated folk artists.
