Discover another
world
Immerse yourself in the flowing forms and delicate movement of these unique oil paintings. British artist Genevieve Leavold celebrates the beauty of nature and believes the power of art to ignite your imagination.
Her work offers a fresh perspective on abstract painting, echoes of plant forms can be seen in her work as she dances between the known and the unknown. There is a precision and poetry to her brushwork which belies the deeper sense of freedom and spontaneity invoked by her paintings.
These are artworks that appeal to those who take pleasure in the mysterious beauty of the world.

"I consider my paintings to be of life which exists just out of view, the energetic nature of the world, ever present but not quite known. My hope is that they can transport the viewer into a place of wonder " Genevieve Leavold
Abandon
The painting’s in this series are an interpretation of the explosions of nature in unban spaces at the beginning of lockdown in Spring 2020.
The collection tells a story of the speed at which nature moves, we assume that because plants do not have movement in the traditional sense that they are static, but give them space and they will dance and spread with abandon. This reflects my thoughts on our inner nature and the idea that we have fixed personalities, I believe that given space we too can flourish with abandon.
If your look closely at each painting, you will see the layers and glazes, you will also see that each on has an underlying structure which has been covered and reclaimed by subsequent marks.
