"...deliciously naughty, devilishly sexy
".-Pet Silvia, Art@Large Gallery, NY
THE TURNING POINT FOR BRIAN CAME IN 1997
WITH HIS PARTICIPATION IN " DEEP INSIDE THE ART OF PORN " EXHIBITION IN
LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND AT THE MUSEE D' ART CONTEMORAIN PORNOGRAPHIQUE,
CURATED BY FRIEND AND ART ADVISOR LES BARANY,(H.R. GIGER'S AGENT), WHO
INTRODUCED BRIAN'S WORK TO A WIDE INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCE.
"Mysterious sexy smoking women, with their
remarkable sensual eyes, and a cigarette in the corner of their mouths,
became his trademark. These characters play their lustful roles, sprouted
from the brain of the American artist Brian M. Viveros. His art is a
unique mixture of different visual and artistic concepts, surrealism,
comics and classic pinups, to name just a few...Thematically, he explores
the boundaries of fetish play, role playing and fantasy".-Art of Love

I don't know why I am so attracted to his
paintings of tattooed, beaten women, but they have such a defiant look,
with their Louise Brooks/Pandora's Box black " helmet hair " and cig
dangling from their mouths, one eye swollen shut. It is to so erotic and
powerful, about us women who get beaten up everyday...-Jenny Lens, punk
photographer/archivist - she shot Darby Crash!
