The Cannavita art exhibit featuring Canadian-born artist Richard Iwanski, showcased a bold fusion of creativity and innovation. Located within Cannavita's unique setting—a hybrid art gallery and fully legal dispensary offering cannabis products—the exhibit epitomized a forward-thinking approach to showcasing local talent.
Ritchie has a very unique style one we have never seen before. This is one of New York City’s up-and-coming artist that is very hands-on doing regular shows frequently building his fans & followers. Collaborations with other artists internationally and locally have also gained traction so you really don’t know what he’s going to put out next. You can walk by one of his pieces countless times and every time you stop to take a look something new will be discovered. One thing is for sure this is a guy to keep your eye on!

Each piece served as a captivating narrative, inviting viewers to dive deeper into its layers, much like exploring the pages of a book. The exhibition not only highlighted Iwanski's unique vision but also evoked feelings of nostalgia, transporting viewers to familiar reference points or introducing them to influential icons that have shaped society and the modern world.
Canadian born artist Ritchie Iwański originally from Vaughan, Ontario and now resides in, New York. His self taught style of eye catching contemporary collage in combination with vintage authentic recycled clippings give his artworks a modern pop art flair. The focal point of each piece is like the cover of a book once you submerge into the pages you can really see how each art pieces story comes together.
The feelings of nostalgia in the art work aim to transcend the viewer to a familiar reference point or introduce an icon to those open to learning about legend’s that shaped society and our modern world. This is what makes Ritchie’s artwork attractive to international collections/ collectors.
