Vivien Gaston
Vivien Gaston is a Naarm/Melbourne-based figurative painter reinterpreting the sublime and the mythic. She sources images from observation, past artists, cinema and photography, transforming interior psychologies in dialogue with the history of art.
Her solo exhibition, Waterfalls, was at Faux Gallery, 267 Lygon Street Brunswick, Australia from 18 October – 1 December 2024
‘Vivien Gaston’s waterfalls are landscapes of the mind as much as they are beautifully—and sometimes recognisably topographic. She balances the psychological with the physical in this recent series of resonant paintings’
—Jane Clark, Senior Research Curator, Mona (The Museum of Old and New Art), Hobart
