Canadian Contemporary Art - River Lewis Paintings, Drawings, Photographs and Digital Media by okanagan artists An okanagan artist's exploration of belonging and nature's reclaiming process. " When I lived deep in the cities of Montreal and Vancouver it was rare to see the tangle of development and nature. I heard about it everyday, but it was like a rumour. "

River creates narrative, landscape and abstract art, ink drawing through meditative memory recall on location alongside photography and in studio, representing the artist's inner space, rather than a literal depiction.

  " All acts of art demand the observer use their imagination. "

River Lewis has exhibited artworks across the British Columbia Mainland in venues including Surrey Art Gallery, Chilliwack Arts Centre and smaller art venues and events. He is involved in the Artist Trading Card movement, showing at the Richmond Art Gallery, Mackenzie Art Gallery in Regina - this promises to be a very exciting artistic endeavour both socially and creatively. As an okanagan artist, River enjoys capturing natural scenery in the Okanagan region producing paintings and drawings that interpret the complex skies and landscape in Vernon BC and the North Okanagan in particular. These Okanagan scenic artworks are mainly oil paintings, graphite, coloured pencil, acrylic ink drawings, and make lyrical and technical study for larger Canadian contemporary art work. The Okanagan artist's Candid art is inclusive of roadside garbage. Current themes addressed in River Lewis' contemporary work include the accuracies and inaccuracies of interpersonal perception, belonging, and the journey.
