Laura Green

Place of birth London
Country of residence United Kingdom
Contact laura_i_green@hotmail.com

In Green’s paintings public spaces like national and international sporting arenas become unreal and mythical. Digitally manipulated photographs are used as source material along with a reductive graphic aesthetic characterized by flat areas of striking colours, to delineate the arenas in arrangements of planar surfaces. Bordering on fantasy, but eerily depopulated and dangerously gaudy, they critically engage with twentieth century notions of utopia specifically in relation to sports culture. Her recent work identifies a subtle palette, focusing particularly on places and objects such as: see-saws, caravans, and empty pathways in public parks.

She is based in London and studied at the Royal College of Art.
