Edition of 500

Almine Rech Editions is proud to present its first apparel collaboration with artist Genieve Figgis. Together with the artist's limited edition t-shirt, this tote bag is launched on the occasion of Figgis' solo exhibition at Almine Rech London, opening on November 19, 2020.

Genieve Figgis' paintings share a similar dramatic bent as some Irish-English literature subjects from Edgar Allan Poe to Oscar Wilde, as well as acknowledged Old Masters such as Goya. Her scenes depicting bourgeois homes, traditional portraits, or landscapes are often haunted by spectral figures and leering creatures with canes and top hats. A sense of the charmingly macabre emerges from Figgis' combination of an apparent pictorial banality with dreamlike qualities.
