BIOMORPHICA: GENEVIEVE LEVIVIER

The Patinoire Royale Bach is delighted to present for the first time the artistic universe of Geneviève Levivier, inspired by textile and painting techniques.

Through major art and design exhibitions as well as numerous awards, Geneviève Levivier, known for her experimental and eco-responsible artistic approach, has made a name for herself on the international art scene in just a few years. Creating her works in harmony with a place or a theme, she develops a dialogue between her work, architecture, nature and natural light, inspired by the notion of synesthesia.

Geneviève Levivier’s mixed-media works, like her in-situ installations, echo nature in its wild and poetic aspect, in a tangible and yet uncertain abstract trace. The transfiguration of organic materials, at the centre of her artistic reflection, carries a doubt between what is given to see and what is perceived. The shadow plays with the ever-changing light in the interlacing colours and the depth of the materials. The luminescence, essential in the current work, induces an unlimited world that delights the senses by the strangeness of its borders. In this space-time that is both frozen and totally open, the viewer’s gaze is a component in its own right. She projects her inner world into it, just as she escapes from it through contemplation, forgetting herself in the infinite meanders of a transfigured nature.
