The British contemporary artist Maria Rivans is based near Brighton in Sussex. She has a growing reputation for her dynamic collages featuring imagery from the 20th and 21st Century pop culture.
Meticulously crafted, Rivans’s collages are often a heady mix of sugar-sweet visuals combined with macabre or dark undertones. A solo exhibition by Rivans, entitled ‘Popcorn Noir’, took place within the Prints & Originals Gallery at the Saatchi Gallery, London in January 2015.
