Mark Ransom Art Showcasing Ruth Greaves

 

Ruth Greaves


Welcome back to the Mark Ransom blog. In this post we will showcase the work of artist Ruth Greaves. Ruth Greaves is a contemporary South African artist whose practice centres on large-scale mixed media painting, distinguished by its vibrant use of colour and immersive and distinctive surface techniques. 

Although her early career in fashion, where Ruth established her international label—and later film, where she worked extensively as an Art Director and Production Designer, painting has remained the consistent and defining thread throughout her artistic life. Working on a large scale, she employs mixed media techniques that incorporate bold, saturated colour, metal leaf, and heat-treated resin.  

Greaves’ work is rooted in a deep sensitivity to the natural world, with a particular focus on often-overlooked creatures—such as insects, frogs, and butterflies—that serve as indicators of fragile ecosystems. Rather than engaging with overt social or political narratives, her paintings emphasise harmony, beauty, and the intrinsic value of nature, quietly reflecting on environmental precarity. 

Here are some of Ruth's works, exhibited and for sale in the Mark Ransom art gallery. Make sure to leave your comments below and subscribe to our blog for more coming soon. We hope you enjoy Ruth's work. Find out more about Mark Ransom here.

Artist Spotlight

 Today's Artist Spotlight Welcome back to the Mark Ransom art blog. Mark focussed on comtemporary art that moves people, creates dialogue and evokes emotion. In today's artist spotlight, we showcase an exciting artist by the name of Alexander Calder. The works below are from the 1970's but have a modern day appeal. Calder revolutionized modern art through his innovative three-dimensional kinetic sculptures, which were famously dubbed “mobiles” by Marcel Duchamp. Drawing inspiration from Futurism, Constructivism, and early non-objective painting, Calder’s mobiles feature vibrant, abstract shapes crafted from industrial materials, delicately suspended in harmonious balance. Check back soon to read more exciting posts on our blog. For more information on Mark Ransom visit his Instagram page. Make sure you leave your comments below.
