Genie Poretzky-Lee

Picture
Genie was classically trained in drawing and sculpture at the Academie Julian in Paris. She continued training in textiles when she moved to London and co-founded ‘Fibre Art’ in the UK, alongside Professor Janis Jeffries. It was a working collective which ran for several years. Painting followed, as she said, “as a result of feeling caught between the warp and the weft”. Her inspiration was abstraction and alchemy, and in the early and mid 90’s her paintings started to include organic materials like sand, crystals, and paper creating a textured surface. 

Her pastels, a more fragile medium, were inspired by geometr, the relationship to the square, the movement of line, and lines in space. The expansion of that dimension resulted in her 3D work and installations including sound and light, all of which deepened the idea of exhibition as being simultaneously experiential as well as experimental space. 

In 2001, she set up The Blue Lotus Foundation in London with poet Jay Ramsey (1954-2018), as a venue for art, poetry and workshops.
