Louis de NivervilleRCA (June 7, 1933 – February 11, 2019) was a Canadian modernistpainter whose work has a quality of imaginative fantasy, sometimes described as surreal.
He drew on memories, dreams and observations, pulling out of himself the feelings and imagery which moved and excited him and channeling them into his multi-facetted body of work. He particularly enjoyed commissions and delighted in rising to such occasions, whether they be book illustrations or mura 'The Dream' by Louis de Niverville at Cowley Abbott GIM
