Genevieve Mathews is a contemporary multidisciplinary artist based in Naarm, Melbourne. She melds themes of memory, dreams, rebirth and the politics of the nude body through a playful practice in charcoal, painting and sculpture. She works on canvas, mostly on a large scale, so as to engage her body in the art-making process. She believes that our bodies are homes in their own right, carrying within them our histories, emotions, and dreams. These themes come to life through dynamic paint and charcoal figures in states of ecstasy, despair, loneliness, isolation, intimacy and joy.
