About the Artist
Although specialising in collage and mixed media painting, Vivien Kohler, enjoys experimenting with new mediums and ideas and has recently started constructing two and three-dimensional works from discarded material. In post- apartheid South Africa, Kohler’s work is often a layered visual metaphor demonstrating migration, marginalisation, excess and waste but in a refreshing manner. He explores challenging economic and social issues and is fascinated by people’s resilience and ability to overcome obstacles. As he attempts to make sense of the city he lives in, his art aims to show that a positive mindset and outcome is possible.
Now living and working in Johannesburg, Kohler was born in Cape Town. He completed a National Diploma in Fine Art at the Ruth Prowse College of Art and Design.
