About The Artwork
expand_more
Paris unfolds as an expressive tapestry of memory, architecture, and movement. Layered with raw gestural marks, vibrant swaths of blue and orange, and scribbled forms that suggest both structure and spontaneity, the piece captures the restless energy of a city alive with history and imagination. The work resists fixed interpretation, instead inviting viewers to wander through its fragmented facades and shifting lines, much like one experiences the pulse of Paris itself.
Created in multimedia on unstretched canvas, the painting’s tactile surface and unbound edges reinforce its immediacy and authenticity. It carries a sense of both chaos and harmony, reflecting how urban life merges the planned and the improvised. For collectors, this work offers not only a striking visual composition but also an evocative meditation on place, memory, and human mark-making.

About the artist

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.”
