About this artwork
Oil on canvas 60x60cm 23.6" square - Stretched (unframed) Signed on the reverse no hanging hardware included.
From the artists Yielding collection - This is a painting from the Genevieve Leavold's Yielding collection - Paintings exploring the idea of softness as strength - Taking inspiration from the Taoist Philosophy "The softest thing can overcome the hardest" Lao Tsu
These paintings take forms from smoke, fire, water and air - and have the artists… characteristic gestural brushwork.
Iris takes inspiration from the artists favourite flowers, the yellow iris - unlike other Yellow flowers Yellow Iris have a positive meaning, of strength, wisdom an insight.
This piece has a feeling of gentle movement and power to it, like a moment of understanding.
The brushwork is built up in 3 layers, of transparent colour, it has a depth and complexity belied by the spontaneity of the brushstrokes.

« Art for me is an expression of something that I feel about the nature of life but cannot articulate with language – my paintings are joyful expressions of nonsense. »
Having grown up as one of 8 children, art acted as an escape for Serbian artist Genevieve Leavold, who has since exhibited her paintings in Serbia, the UK and US. Considering her work as a reflection of how she views different worlds or environments as interconnected, she uses her inspiration from nature - particularly found within man-made environments, to compose striking abstract works that marry each influence with balance and polish.
