Gigi Horr Liverant
Pastel and Oil Paintings
 Gigi has painted in oils and pastels for over twenty-five years in a continuing exploration of the dramatic effects of both natural and artificial light. Her continuing work has evolved with an investigation of color-drenched still life subjects, the chroma of morning and afternoon light and recently into images that explore the mystery of nocturnal illumination. Current imagery includes landscapes with an emphasis on driving scenes, both sunlit and nocturnal. In addition to the pastels for which she is known, Gigi has developed her work in large-scale oil and oil stick paintings.
She has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors and is represented by several galleries as well as in public and private collections.

Judy Birke of the New Haven Register states:
“Bold and broad, with an eye sharply tuned to the drama of light and shadow, Liverant’s pastel and oil stick drawings resonate with intense physicality and vitality. Activated by riots of densely textured high-key color and an easy expressive sense of materials, Liverant makes every inch of surface consequential.” Beth Dufresne of the New London Day states in her September 2005 column titled A Portrait of The Artist As A Commuter:
“ ... every canvas beamed an intense sensation of deep color; with patches of almost blinding light.” |
