« I paint indulgent, abstract images that critique (rather than celebrate) a system that favors the fortunate and neglects the less-so. »
James Green is an exciting young British artist whose works have been exhibited in the UK and Australia. Rooted in a balance somewhere between fine art tradition and contemporary practice, his paintings often include obscured faces, within compositions somewhat resemblant of a visual fist fight between Francis Bacon and Jean Michel Basquiat. The works reject hierarchy and revel in their physicality, showcasing a thick impasto and bold colours to challenge the notion of beauty in art.
