​

Vivien Studio is a collaborative studio led by Clare, a visual artist with an art history and humanities background.  Currently at Leith School of Art, studying on the year-long figure course, as well as studying printmaking at the school. Her drawing is the first discipline that informs her practice and the work depicts timeless subjects that could have been captured then or now. 

 

Clare is primarily interested in expressing fears and fantasies rooted in the human condition and the subjects allude to time and place. Often ethereal, the work is more about a sense of the unfamiliar evoked within a familiar setting. Often ethereal, with a sense of the uncanny.

The belief

 

​

Art and culture is for us all. After all it's made by us for us. Nobody should feel excluded. We all have a unique viewpoint. Our aim is to inform and inspire you to get out there. Immerse yourself in art, film and books - in all those fantastic things our brilliant creators make. In person, online - whatever you’re able to do - the door, screen or page should always be open.

​

​If you've already caught the creative bug, or just want to explore - welcome. We look at the beautiful, the challenging and the obscure. We explore creativity in our cities, towns and villages - in our open spaces and quirky places. We’ll keep you posted on an eclectic mix of art past and present, current exhibitions, screenings, launches and events. We’re really happy you’re here.
