Lewczuk is an Australian visual artist based in Brisbane. Lewczuk holds a Bachelor of Illustration from Queensland College of Art (1994), a Bachelor of Communication, Art & Design and Social Science from University of the Sunshine Coast (1999) and has also completed Post Graduate Studies in Human Services at Queensland University of Technology (2002).

He has also produced major works for public art projects throughout the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and Sydney, and was recently commissioned by the State Library of Queensland to produce a work for the State collection.
His work delves into 70’s nostalgia, tracing elements of a childhood where Frankenstein’s Monster, Star Wars, Glam Music, Punk Rock, Saturday Morning Cartoons, Home Tiki Bars and Holden Muscle Cars culminate to become cornerstones of his unique visual style.
In addition to the evident pop culture iconography, his works also reveal a low-fi ‘authenticity’ in terms of creative process.
