Vivien Carolyn Reinert is a mixed media artist, specialising in textile wall hangings, screen printing, embroidery and polaroid photography that she manipulates through double exposure and painting, living and working in Camden, London.

Upon graduating from Central Saint Martins (BA Hons Textiles, 2019) and the Royal College of Art (MA Textiles, 2021), she worked for design houses such as Liberty and Conran and Partners before focusing on her own practice.

Since 2024 she has been working as an artist full-time exploring the intersection of craft and art in her London-based studio.

Her practice spans over a range of materials and techniques. In her work she explores the significance and meaning of public spaces - non-places - and how the way people behave in these settings and interact with one another spark larger conversations around hyper-connectivity in the virtual world and social disconnect in the physical world. Her work dissects overstimulation and distraction, the rise in an inability to be present and mindful as well as the loss of the collective experience.

Mediating on the way we move through these public spaces absentmindedly, she seeks to draw awareness to the beauty of slowing-down the ever-accelerating pace of change and taking in the intricate tapestry and the simplest encounters. Her works aim to re-enchant people with the overlooked details in the mundane and to reconnect with the present.

All of her varied artworks serve as a record of these findings and fascinations with the everyday. They are an exploration of her unique experience, an investigation overlapping the real with the imagined.

By layering and combining an array of different techniques and materials, Vivien further explores and reflects on the complexity of her environment.

Vivien has exhibited as part of London Craft Week and most recently has been commissioned by Cunard to create a series of artworks and designs, which are currently being displayed on the newest ship of the fleet, Queen Anne.
