Genie Poretzky-Lee

I am inviting you to take a few moments and look with an open heart and mind. Your responsive perception is the intent.

My aim is to share various aspects of my work spanning a number of years, hoping that the images presented offer a participation to my personal vision in an endeavor towards harmonious proportions and a better balance of component elements of form and color. A way referred by painter Kandinsky as 'the inner need'.

I am passionately involved with surfaces and structure. Recent scientific discoveries reveal a closer borderline to Matter, helping horizons to extend into new states of reality. This awareness guides my work. It has been a slow and uneven journey full of difficulties and hesitations.

Yet, I believe it has also helped me to find my true language while remaining closely in touch with great artists both past and present. I continuously learn from looking at Masters namely Piero Della Francesca, Rembrandt, Turner and Cezanne. As well as Malevitch, Rothko, Agnes Martin, Sean Scully, sculptor Eduardo Chillida and installation artist Rebecca Horn, to mention just a few.

I hold the "making" practice in deep respect and see all working stages as essential. My wish is to offer insights woven within paintings and drawings into the varied and mysterious experiences encountered along a 'maker's' journey.

I hope to take you with me and for a while, capture your full attention. If there are questions please get in touch. I look forward to your further interest.
