The Shop: Books, Art and Pretty Things
Sensual surfaces, erotic compositions, immaculate beauty, yet distorted time and time again through a startling, cold weft—the latest paintings by Vivian Greven (1985 in Bonn) seduce the viewers with their peculiar tension which arises between poles like perfection and the uncanny, tradition and avant-garde. Greven’s figures are brought to life sculptures in pictures. Their smooth skin is reminiscent of marble and porcelain. Sometimes provocatively glossy, sometimes mysteriously matt—her figurative paintings mirror the desire for a perfect aesthetic and a soulful corporeality in a digital age.
For the very first institutional exhibition of the artist, this richly illustrated catalog is published. It contains a preface by Amely Deiss, essays by Helga Krutzler and Timotheus Vermeulen as well as a new short story by Jackie Thomae.
