Genevieve Esson has a B.A. in Painting from Webster University, an award winning artist, her work is collected regionally and internationally. Esson is a painter and multi media artist and has completed 25 Public Art Projects. Her main medium is painting in acrylics. Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, she participates and exhibits her artwork at fairs, festivals, popups, gallery shows, coffee houses, hospitals, restaurants and LIVE art events. Esson makes paintings and mixed media artworks. By merging several seemingly incompatible worlds into a new universe, Esson tries to increase the dynamic between audience and author by objectifying emotions and investigating the duality that develops through different interpretations. Her works isolate the movements of humans and/or objects. By doing so, new sequences are created which reveal an inseparable relationship between motion and sound. By questioning the concept of movement, she uses a visual vocabulary that incorporates time as well as space – a fictional and experiential universe that only emerges bit by bit. Her works are based on imaginary associations which open a unique poetic vein. Multilayered images arise in which the fragility and instability of our seemingly certain reality is questioned. With a conceptual approach, luring the viewer round and round in circles, she finds that movement reveals an inherent awkwardness, a humour that echoes our own vulnerabilities.
