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 six solo shows and numerous juried group exhibitions. She 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, but she also paints, often cycling fluidly between the three techniques. A constant theme in Janne’s work is her interest in human nature and how memories and experiences are imprinted deep inside of us.

​

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. 2024 she successfully showed, for the first time, her work at the Artist Project, expanding her commission work and private collectors.

​

Janne’s work is also held in public collections including the Donovan Art Collection at St. Michael’s College (Canada) and the Municipal Gallery of Ostfildern (Germany).
