Description : Genieve Figgis's work is characterized by a dramatic intensity that recalls the spirit of Irish-English literature—from the darkness of Poe to the wit of Oscar Wilde—while also evoking the somber inspirations of old masters such as Goya. In her paintings, bourgeois houses, traditional portraits, and landscapes are adorned with spectral presences and luminous figures wearing top hats and wielding canes. This fusion of seemingly banal realism and a dreamlike quality gives her work a decidedly macabre charm.
