Archival pigment giclée on Hahnemuhle Archival Fine Art paper - Signed, dated 2019 and numbered // Adam and Eve by Genieve Figgis is a vibrant and surreal interpretation of the biblical scene, created in 2019 as a limited-edition archival pigment giclée print. Rendered in Figgis’s signature fluid, almost melting style, the artwork portrays Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, surrounded by an array of animals and lush vegetation. The loose, painterly strokes and exaggerated features give the piece a whimsical yet eerie quality, transforming the traditional story into a dreamlike tableau. The bright color palette and swirling forms evoke a sense of movement and vitality, adding depth to the scene’s chaotic beauty. Signed, dated, and numbered by the artist, this print reflects Figgis's unique approach to classic themes, blending humor and myth with a distinctively modern edge.

What is new figuration?
Neo-Figurative Art is a collective term that refers to the revival of figurative art in America and Europe during the 1960s, following a period dominated by abstraction. Michel Ragon, a French art critic, argued that this resurgence of figuration occurred during a critical time of social and political upheaval in both regions.
