About Viveza & The Aesthetic of Complexity

Live Vividly
Viveza is committed to developing our Aesthetic of Complexity and making it accessible to the world at large while cultivating rising artists and collectors. Situated in the lively Belltown district of Seattle, two blocks south of the SAM Olympic Sculpture Park, Viveza has spent over four years strengthening Seattle's art community through emerging artist cultivation and collector education.

The Aesthetic of Complexity
Viveza explores the architecture of complex systems, conflating logic, experience and emotion in structured excavations of the fundamentals of human perception in the Information Era. Not only an art gallery in the traditional sense, Viveza also functions as a laboratory of sorts, presenting artistic research in fields new to art and science both. Viveza cultivates art that explores the complexity found in all systems; from science to literature, basic human relationships to religion. Either through creative process or subject matter, our artists reference complexity in various systems; echoing a rising hum in the art world that owns those systems by dissecting, restructuring, mythologizing or satirizing them.

Viveza Art
Viveza scours geographic and virtual hotbeds of scientific, technological and artistic innovation to identify trends in the art world that exemplify our aesthetic. Sometimes this means identifying several individual artists who, when viewed together, reveal something profound about the direction of contemporary art. We use a collaborative, think-tank approach to art acquisition, resulting in a vision that is diverse while remaining holistic and coherent. The art we select is created by artists that use unique creative processes, effectively realize complex concepts, and engage head-on with timely ideas.
