About
Why this artist matters now
Genieve Figgis is an Irish painter working in large-scale oil on canvas. Her figures emerge through gestural, expressionistic brushwork in vivid color, with loose mark-making that deliberately obscures anatomical clarity and generates psychological unease. The tension between figuration and abstraction defines her approach, creating solitary or grouped presences that resist legibility. Her work achieves its unsettling power through the friction between recognizable human form and the materiality of paint itself.
