Vivian Greven, born in Bonn in 1985, now lives and works in Düsseldorf. She creates ethereal paintings that borrow visually and thematically from classical arts, pop arts, and digital media world, sliding in fluidity between representation and abstraction. Working in alluring colors and restrained arrangements, her paintings display the interplay between surface and form with a glowing luminosity, dramatically flirting with body structure, dualism, and human existence depicted in serenity and clarity. Beauty is rooted within holiness, which is in connection with the universal balance between the immortal and the ephemeral. Recent solo exhibitions include: CLOSE at Kadel Willborn, Düsseldorf, 2021; Nabel at Kunstverein Heidelberg, 2021; VIVIAN GREVEN at Kunstmuseum Langmatt, 2021; The Negatives at Gallery Vacancy, Shanghai, 2021; Apple at Kunstpalais Erlangen, Erlangen, 2020.
