  • 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. She is based in London and studied at the Royal College of Art. Selected exhibitions include: 2006 Primetime Painting: Young Artists from London. 2005 Peculiar Encounters, ecArtspace, London; Rundlede
