Author: Rivenrod

Artist | Author | BrainSpark: Rod McRiven speaks up for integrity & humanity against the shameless excesses of the 21st Century. Galvanised by Realpolitik, inspired by Art History, the Written Word and Philosophy, he is shabby yet chic, obsessively curious and carelessly un-PC whilst always being diplomatically forthright. Following an early career in commerce, he permeated the underbelly of international relations working in North Africa, the Middle East, Malaysia, and Europe. Between assignments, he followed his creative passions for art and writing, building an extensive back-catalogue that is currently being developed for publication. He maintains strong cultural connections around the world and has a passionate interest in nomadic traditions. His writing is romance noir, and his art is Conceptual. He lives and works on Exmoor in the United Kingdom. Words | Ideas | Art | Music www.rivenrod.com e: rod@rivenrod.com
