Comfort by Viviane Herzog
COMFORT wholeheartedly embraces the power of female friendships – the warmth, strength, and love that reside within these connections. It celebrates the feminine energy that uplifts and nurtures, and is a heartfelt tribute to all the women who carried me through a difficult times in my life.
In this work, the more active figure seated acts like an angel or guardian, watching over the person who rests in her lap with eyes closed, tired from the day. The «angel», blending seamlessly with the colors of the background, is physically present with the figure in her embrace, yet her gaze is unwavering, directed firmly at the spectator – almost as if telling them to pay attention, to acknowledge the force and presence of this bond.

About the Artist
Having always been challenged by the complexity of relationships in her life, Viviane Herzog (b. 1990) made this topic her artistic focus. Gaining a lot of insight into human nature in her earlier career as a writer and editor focusing on individuals and their life stories, Herzog turned that knowledge into making art on relational topics during her studies of Art Conveyance (Kunstvermittlung) in Basel Switzerland since 2021. Her paintings and installations using both paper and textiles highlight the value and beauty that lie in the ambiguity of life and offer comfort and hope to the recipient. She took part in several Group Shows in different Galleries in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2023. Her upcoming first solo show in Basel will combine installation, participatory art and paintings in with her fondness for printmaking.
