"The figures populating Genieve Figgis’ paintings emanate from some luminescent netherworld, suspended between life and death, or living life and death or life through death in a land of the willingly lost, enchanted and menacing by turns.”

-David Rimanelli, “Wonderful Party, Darling” in Making Love with the Devil, New York, 2014
