Glen River

Home About Artist Brief Biography River was born in Washington D.C. The family soon moved to Greece. where they lived in a suburb of Athens. Drawing and simple watercolors articulated his imagination. Demonstrating talent and originality he was encouraged to develop drawing skills. In the early 1950's his art remained a private world. The family relocated numerous times. Drawings of new places seemed to help orient and establish a sense of permanence. In the late 1950's and early 60's, the art as "The Work" seemed to become a regular exercise. Life classes and painting assignments became regular. Sometimes he would invite friends over for painting sessions. Experimentation with block printing introduced the counterpoint of a matrix and original hand. Following his formal education, he lived and worked in Europe and the U.S.A. This produced art and showing in the United States, England, France, Switzerland, and Greece. His art works include both representational and abstract paintings. River continues to be interested in primitive culture and stories about creational myth. He became interested in Yoga and mind-body disciplines in his teens. His admiration for Harry Houdini led him to explore various methods of deep state meditation and mindful movement.
