Artist
Genieve Figgis
Born in Dublin
Genieve Figgis is a contemporary artist who started her artistic career using social media.
Working in oil and acrylic and at small- to mid-scale, Figgis produces paintings, she is known for her vibrant colors and ghoulish or macabre imagery.
Through her work, she explores and sends-up the idealization of luxury and leisure in paintings and photographs throughout art history.
Like these historical works, her paintings feature sumptuous domestic interiors and stately country homes, idyllic natural settings, and protagonists dressed in finery and engaged in such activities as feasting, horseback riding, playing piano, or attending a party.
