Scottish painter Lewis Deeney’s work combines geometry, philosophy and modern technology. In this episode, he talks about how geometry has always obsessed him especially the mandala that contains elements of eastern philosophy that his passion for yoga had already piqued his interest, how he began as a tattooist, how abstract art was highly influential at art school, how Celtic culture inspired him, how he came to use a laser cutter in his practice and how one of his works will be stored on the moon.
