About The Artwork

Art is so much more than a just pretty picture. It’s also considerably more than simply what someone thinks would look ‘cool’ on their wall. It’s absolutely not about how much money you can make from selling a specific painting (in my opinion money should be secondary, and perhaps even a relatively coincidental consequence related to your innate desire to make something of significance in the first place). What I’m trying to say is that money shouldn’t even be considered when making ‘art’. It should more be a byproduct of doing what you would do regardless – even if it were never to be for sale. To me, there is no greater thrill in expressing yourself (however that manifests in physicality, or otherwise) without any limitations (other than those imposed by your own mind). It’s about being able to create something that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world. Something that nobody else would be able to create because only you have lived your life experience up until now, or as a result of certain events/experiences/etc – thus leading to this moment where all those things come together into one final creative output.

Green paints directly onto raw, unstretched canvas, working instinctively, without preamble or pause for thought. His earliest work was observational and figurative, with a kind of meticulous precision, but, having demonstrated this precocious skill, he felt free to cast-off formal technique and to work in a more expressive way, characterised by loose, vivid unpredictability. The first impression is of gestural vitality and rich painterly effect – bright colours merge into murky smudges; sharp definition blurs into misty formlessness. There are sweeping lines; scribbly detail; indistinct colour washes; paint drips, flows or clumps into crusty accretions. Suggestions of formal structure are quickly subverted. Amidst this abstract maelstrom there are hints of crude calligraphy, figuration and human faces – ambiguous, half-formed, partially erased. “The last decade has been about dissecting the human form in a process that is energetic, spontaneous and organic. I now find it more powerful to capture the essence of a person rather than to render an exact image. The paintings I make today are one-offs that I couldn’t replicate. They are unique to specific moments, authentic to me. I don’t look for or seek inspiration; I live my colourful life and allow that to guide the path for my practice.”
