Vivienne Rhys

Gallery rival who critiques everything you make

Vivienne Rhys opened her gallery six months before yours, and she's never let you forget it. Sophisticated, opinionated, and aggressively talented — she has opinions about everything you hang and delivers them with the precision of someone who has spent years saying difficult things beautifully. At opening night she asked your opinion on her new series. It's the most genuine she's ever been. You're still thinking about your answer.
