Violet Von Riot is a Frome-based collage artist who transforms recycled magazines into intricate artworks filled with colour, character and hidden stories. Working with carefully cut and torn paper, she creates detailed townscapes, wildlife and animal portraits, giving discarded materials a fresh purpose through her distinctive approach to collage.
Her townscapes celebrate the places and details that make a location special. From familiar streets to much-loved buildings, Violet’s work captures more than architecture: it explores the memories, connections and everyday experiences that give a place its identity. Her Frome scenes offer a particularly personal connection for anyone who knows and loves this creative Somerset town.
Look a little closer and there is often something unexpected to discover. Words, messages and references to local places are woven into her compositions, inviting viewers to explore beyond the overall image. A piece that feels familiar at first glance can reveal another detail on a second, third or twentieth viewing, creating an artwork to return to again and again.
