Architect By Maria Rivans

Architect By Maria Rivans

The work of Maria Rivans is known for its mash up of surrealism meets pop art. Her scrapbook like collages with their 1950s pop culture references have all the playful delight of an early Paolozzi, mixed with the strange surreality of a Dali, and brought up to date with a certain sophistication and quirky aesthetic, unique to Rivans. ‘Architect’ was first released at the artrepublic Art Yard Sale on Sunday 5th June 2016, in which some of the biggest names in the contemporary art world came together in Brighton’s Jubilee Square, giving fans the chance to buy from the artists directly. ‘Architect’ depicts a 1950s image of a well dressed man, sat against a wood panelled wall. Over the image’s centre, Rivans has pasted large, glittery disc, containing a high rise metropolis of skyscrapers with a single, ringed planet in place of the sun. The bottom section of the collage has also been covered with a strip of silvery glitter, for a textured, iridescent effect. Rivans’ collage is not only successful in its appealing aesthetic but in its intelligent if ironic use of 1950s pop culture and architectural fantasies of the urban future.
