Yielding

The Abandon series was created during spring of 2020 while in lockdown in Belgrade. During this time, Genevieve observed that the wildflowers and grasses were left untamed in the city, as human activity slowed to a halt. This brought a little wildness and wilderness into the urban areas.

Fugue States

Works On Paper

The artist's Blooms collection is influenced by her recent sell-out exhibition Release, which featured paintings inspired by stories of letting go.

When creating these works, Genevieve also took inspiration from folk art and the dutch flower paintings. Specifically the use of a dark background to accentuate the combination of soft and bright colours of her work.

The collection takes the viewer through seasons, as the palettes reflect the changing colours of flora through the year.

The artist created these Bloom paintings to celebrate the feeling of release. Holding tight and then letting go of whatever is weighing on you leading to feelings of renewal and growth.



Blooms
