Vivian Reiss
The Canadian Embassy presents "Vivian Reiss: Portraits" which features 27 works of oil on canvas.
Reiss studied at The School of the Museum of Fine Art in Boston and The Art Institute in Boston. Her work gained the support of Marilyn Powers and Jason Berger and she continued her apprenticeship under their guidance at The Direct Vision Atelier in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Reiss has traveled widely, and her wanderlust is an important element in her work. She has lived in yurts with nomadic herders in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan, painted elephants in Africa, and studied dance in Bali. The artist's background in numerous art forms, from dance to sculpture to the culinary arts suffuses her art with multiple visions of artistry, including the art of living. Reiss works from her Toronto studio, housed on the top floor of her magnificent yet welcoming Victorian mansion. She has created artworks for a range of international charitable campaigns, and has exhibited throughout Canada, the United States and in Europe, participating in 40 shows, 21 of which were solo exhibitions. Her works are included in collections on five continents.
The fullness of Vivian Reiss' life is reflected in the vibrancy of her paintings. She paints from life and her vitality comes across in her vivid portraits, still-lifes, and landscapes. She has been chosen to present the Satoyama Storehouse project in the Echigo Tsumari Art Triennial 2006. Her solo exhibition will also be held simultaneously at Gallery Concept 21 in Tokyo from August 4 to 15.
