Show Notes
In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Genevieve Leavold (@genevieveleavold)
“I am a self-taught painter from Somerset UK. I originally trained in Theatre Design specialising in Scenic Painting and prop making. My love for creating immersive spaces informed my approach to painting as I hope to take the viewer into another world, a place of energetic exchange and flow. “
“I use abstraction to explore concepts of self, and our relationship to the natural world. Taking a meditative approach to my process the paintings are created by layering transparent glazes and opaque marks. There is a vital element of movement in this process: it's physical: using large brushes to lay out the composition of the work and moving with the brushstrokes.”
“I have always loved dance and this deeply informs my practice, I want to take you somewhere in these abstract forms, to a memory or a feeling that sits just out of sight. “
“My paintings are driven by and express a need for harmony, in the movement and the palette I use. There's rhythm in nature and I feel that my unplanned gestures and brushstokes chime with this rhythmic flow. “
