Michael Viviani

Michael Viviani was born in La Ciotat in 1981.

In 2003, he obtained a diploma in visual communication and graphic arts from the Axe Sud school in
Marseille.
His work is heavily inspired by film and music posters, which he uses to meticulously reproduce the life of a street billboard. His practice, notably laceration, has developed through a myriad of painting techniques combined with text. Navigating between the present and the past, his work pleases our eyes with the illusion and superimposition of collages. Viviani succeeds harmoniously in fusing an abundance of torn posters into a new narrative, sincerely presenting a frozen moment in time to the viewer.
The artist has branched out into new mediums such as sculpture and furniture, with a nod to technology.
