Vivien creates works on canvas and paper, using charcoal, chalk, pastel, ink and oil. Inspiration comes from sources ranging from art history to music, myths and poetry. She is fascinated by the relationships between ideas, words, images and rhythms. Formats range from small pieces on wooden panels to larger works on canvas, and from black-and-white graphic work to colourful paintings in primary colours. Deeply influenced by surrealist ideas and methods, she sees every image as an adventure in creation and destruction, temporality and change.
