ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Framing the work of James Green Artist – examples/recommendations. This post was created as a Collector Resource; to assist with framing ideas/options & to help simplify conversations with framers. As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out via email if you’d like to discuss with the artist directly in more detail. Collectors often have their own creative ideas when it comes to framing, and we are very happy to discuss varying options. Featured images taken from the homes of collectors around the world. I often paint onto unstretched canvas and I typically advise for these unstretched works to be placed into large ‘box’ frames, floating over a mount, with ripped/torn/imperfect edges revealed. This presents the work effectively – in line with my modern practice – and maintains some authentic trace of the studio and the process. It is no question that I paint in a unique manner, and I prefer not to disguise this with unnecessary cosmetic layering (e.g stretching the unstretched/imperfect canvas around a ‘perfect’ stretcher frame)… I prefer to embrace/celebrate the imperfections. It feels more authentic this way. For reasons hinted at above, I also particularly enjoy seeing my work hung like tapestries – which, as well as providing an ultra-contemporary/ballsy finish, precisely mirrors the painting’s presence/existence during it’s creation in the studio.

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.”
