Vivian Suter (born Aug 26, 1949) is an Argentine-Swiss painter, based in Guatemala | studio in Panajachel, Guatemala Photo: © Flavio Karrer via fb

Suter was born in Buenos Aires. Her mother, Elisabeth Wild, was an Austrian-born, noted collage artist. (see below) At the age of 12, Suter moved to Basel, Switzerland with her family. via W

Her most important early production comprises works on paper – drawings, collages and large colourfully tinted sheets, shown at Swiss galleries during the 1970s. In 1982 she visited Latin America, and the following year settled in Panajachel, Guatemala. The atmosphere of the area, its climate, vegetation and animals, became her subjects. In this ecosystem she replaced paper with canvas mounted on stretchers. awarewomenartists

Wild’s art only began to gain public recognition in later life, in tandem with her daughter, the painter Vivian Suter. Wild and Suter were both championed by curator Adam Szymczyk, who gave them a two-person show at the Kunsthalle Basel in 2014 and featured them his 2017 Documenta. Wild also exhibited at the Power Plant, Toronto, in 2017 and had a solo show at Carbon 12 in Dubai last year. artreview

The fluidity of Suter’s approach to painting and mark-making conveys an ecological sensitivity to the interconnections between people and place. hyperallergic.com

Finnish Artist Tove Jansson Was More Than Just the Creator of the Moomins

The #Moomins are beloved the world over, but what do we know of their creator, Tove Jansson?

Artist Tove Jansson was a Finnish (swedish speaking) painter, illustrator, and novelist. Her eclectic mix of graphic line drawings and soft-contoured paintings, range from stoic self-portraits and cartoonish illustrations, to light-filled landscapes. She is perhaps best known for her creation of the The Moomins, a series of books portraying a fictional family of troll-like creatures.

Born on August 9, 1914 in Helsinki, Finland (source)
Brought up by artistic parents, Jansson studied art from 1930 to 1938 in Stockholm, Helsinki and Paris: Jansson studied at the University College of Arts, Crafts, and Design in Stockholm until 1933, and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1938.
Her first solo art exhibition was in 1943. At the same time, she was writing short stories and articles for publication, as well as creating the graphics for book covers and other purposes. She continued to work as an artist and a writer for the rest of her life.

She later found work as a commercial illustrator and political satirist in European periodicals.

Notably, she illustrated Swedish editions of J.R.R. Tolkein’s The Hobbit and Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Jansson died on June 27, 2001 in Helsinki, Finland.
