River Lewis engages and explores the politics of Belonging through visual and written study on the authority of landscape storytelling in Canadian contemporary art. Survivalism, pop metaphor and commonality are his chosen allegorical tools which result in intensely charged and provocative imagery. For the audience, this alluring content paired with literal text elements walks a line between intellectually accessible and visceral experiences. Extending beyond the simplistic outlines of a multi-racial background, River Lewis flags global current events, utilizing literal text in his artworks to deliver viewer accessibility while simultaneously framing and dissecting visual poetry. " The world in perfect #balance, I find I'm not searching to belong, or for the meaning, but to access the #feeling of #belonging. #loveart " @riverlewisart, 2012. |
