KILMANY-JO LIVERSAGE, FLOWAE321
Acrylic and spray paint on canvas, 150 x 150 cm
Kilmany-Jo Liversage’s paintings challenge the conventional boundary between fine art and street art. The Cape-Town based artist fuses Renaissance portraiture and still life conventions with a strident urban sensibility and a psychedelic palette. “Liversage’s focus is on the here and now, on sites of both decay and gentrification, where the tag, squiggle and scrawl of graffiti carry as much gravitas and value as the high art of her forebears.” - Hazel Freidman, journalist and art critic.
