VIVIEN Jenette
 

​

​

Vivien Jenette is a multidisciplinary artist who creates bold, retro-inspired pop art influenced by her academic background in African American Studies, English, and Library Science. She approaches her work as a form of storytelling that references pop culture, music, film, television, and advertising to explore complex emotions and the intersections of identity. Her work often centers on the interior lives of Black women. Through vivid color and striking imagery, she highlights rather than hides emotion. Her work asserts that strength does not negate tenderness: a Black woman can be strong and still cry.
