&&

&& is the collaborative pseudonym of artists Dillon Lew’chuk (past pseudonym used Ryan O'Lewis) and Kegan McFadden.

Inspired by queer artistic partnerships of the past who blurred lines of life and art, particularly the playful spirit of the Fluxus movement, && make drawing, bookworks, and printmaking through an experimental lens. Their work has been featured in the First Islands Printmaking Biennale (Duncan, BC, 2024) and SweetPea Gallery’s GAZING exhibition (Victoria, 2024), and is slated for a solo show at Fifty Fifty Arts Collective in June 2025 as part of the Victoria Festival of Queer Arts. Rooted in documenting their love affair, &&’s practice strips back to the essentials—materials, form, and process—while centering queer visibility and joy.

In 2025, they are expanding into film and theatre, responding to the increasing erasure of queer existence. This shift embraces risk and experimentation, positioning live performance and cinema as intimate yet far- reaching forms of activism.
