Glenn Lewis (born 1935) is a Canadian cross-disciplinary contemporary artist. Lewis is also known by his adopted artistic persona Flakey Rrose Hip [sic].




Life and career


Lewis is a contemporary ceramicist, sculptor, potter, muralist, photographer, videographer, filmmaker, performance artist, and writer, as well as a teacher and administrator.
After receiving a scholarship from the Royal Canadian Legion in Kelowna, British Columbia in 1954, Lewis spent the next ten years studying painting, drawing, and ceramics, and teaching. In 1969, Lewis was commissioned by the Canadian government to create a work of art for Expo '70 in Osaka, Japan. Artifact, a sculptural ceramic work, was ultimately not shown, because it was thought by the commissioner of the Canadian pavilion to be obscene.
As a co-founding member of the New Era Social Club, Intermedia, and, in 1973, the Western Front, Lewis was one of an internationally recognised group of artists who established social practice as an artistic medium in Vancouver.
Lewis has been influential as an educator. Previous students of artist's include Gathie Falk, who studied sculpture under Lewis at the University of British Columbia.
In 2017, Lewis was named by the Canada Council for the Arts as one of eight recipients of the Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts, for which he received a $25,000 cash prize.
Lewis lives and works in Roberts Creek, British Columbia.
