Janne Reuss was born and raised in Mexico City and is currently based in Toronto, Canada. She has been a professional practicing artist for more than two decades, having lived, worked and exhibited her artwork in Mexico, United States, Germany, Italy and Canada -- including five solo shows and numerous group exhibitions.

 

Her work has been selected into 8 juried exhibitions, one of them winning the 3rd place in the best in show category. 

In 2020/2021 Janne participated in residencies at Akin X Collision Gallery and Akin Studio Program Auto BLDG at MOCA, the former culminating in her most important solo exhibition so far: Rewriting the Story, a series of over 20 overpainted photomontages.

Janne participated in the Artist Project Contemporary Art Fair in Toronto 2024, 2025, and was re invited for 2026. 

​

Reuss studied Fine Arts at the Academy of Art & Design in Stuttgart, Germany and History of Art in Mexico. Her preferred media are photography and collage, and she also paints, often cycling fluidly between these three media. A constant theme in Janne’s work is her interest in human nature and how memories and experiences are imprinted deep inside of us.

​

Janne’s work is held in private and public collections including the Donovan Art Collection at St. Michael’s College (Canada) and the Municipal Gallery of Ostfildern (Germany). Since June 2025 she is represented by Petroff Gallery in Toronto.
