Biography
Anne Vieux is a multimedia American artist who lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Vieux grew up in Norman, Oklahoma and spent formative years in Montpellier, France. She received her MFA from | Crabrook Academy of Art where she studied Painting with Beverly Fishman.

Work
Vieux's work is situated in abstract painting, but expands this field through public installations, artist books, video, and sculpture. Across her works, limitations of the photographic are manipulated into painterly fields of color and composition. Tropes of painting as a window, mirror, or frame, are compressed into screen space. The other-worldly topography she composes, has a hyperreal affectation, while referencing historical models of abstraction, such as color field painting and capturing the sublime.

Working in multiple mediums with a primary focus on painting and its history. Combining the photographic and painterly, she broaches subjects such as the cosmetic, feminine, and psychedelic.

Vieux’s approach to painting seeks to marry (and blur) analog and digital forms of image making, viewing computer-based manipulations as synonymous with the brush. This raw scanned refractive scanned material generates randomness that is augmented and enhanced then printed. Vieux alters and recomposes these images by hand with a digital mindset.

Collections
Vieux's artist book editions are included in the collections of Reed College Library, Virginia Commonwealth University Library, Thomas J. Watson Library The Met, and the MoMA Library.
