Original artwork description:
Where the Light Gets in - 40x40cm (16" square) Unframed. Painted edges, signed on the reverse of the canvas. Can be hung unframed.
This is a painting from 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.
Where the Light gets In is inspired by a line from a poem by the Sufi poet Rumi “ The wound is the place where the light enters you.”
It is a celebration of thriving in adversity, opening your heart even if you have experienced pain.
The forms here are fragmented but there is a sense that they are pulling together, weaving something beautiful from the broken parts.
Another inspiration behind this is the Japanese tradition of Kintsugi - mending broken pots with gold, celebrating the new forms and honouring the past experiences of the vessel.
This painting will be carefully wrapped and shipped in a cardboard box with a certificate of Authenticity from the Artist Studio.
Materials used:
oil on fine weave Italian canvas
