Genieve Figgis (b. 1972) is an Irish contemporary painter known for her distinctive figurative paintings that combine dark humor, macabre imagery, and references to art history.

Her work evokes the dramatic atmospheres of literary traditions associated with Edgar Allan Poe and Oscar Wilde, while also engaging with the visual legacy of Old Masters such as Francisco Goya. Working primarily in acrylic on small to medium-scale canvases, Figgis creates theatrical scenes characterized by fluid brushwork, vibrant color, and unsettling narratives. Her paintings have been described by Roberta Smith ofThe New York Timesas “nastily entertaining pieces of work,” highlighting the artist’s ability to blend satire, elegance, and grotesque visual storytelling.

Joël Andrianomearisoa expresses himself through various mediums and materials, seeking to give form to non-explicitand abstract narrations. From sculpture to installation, from craftsmanship to writing, from textile to architecture, he adopts a plural approach inspired by his Malagasy roots but also by the world and its multiple geographies.
