Genevieve Chua

Two works: (i) Edge Control #8, Slalom; (ii) Edge Control #9, Seated Nude

2016

Genevieve Chua's diptych from her *Edge Control* series presents two acrylic-on-linen works that explore the tension between gestural freedom and compositional restraint. In *Slalom* and *Seated Nude*, fluid, curving lines navigate the linen surface with a sense of controlled momentum, suggesting both movement and the human form through spare, elegant mark-making. Chua's restrained palette and confident draftsmanship allow the raw texture of the linen to breathe through the paint, lending each work an quiet, meditative presence.
