‘Self-portrait of somebody else’ features a series of multi-faceted portraits borne from over a decade of visual exploration into my concerns around existing in an over-complicated society with an overwhelming disconnect between ‘work’ and real life. It’s my intention for each portrait to be viewed (at once) as both a self portrait, and a portrait of the ‘everyday person’.
“Ensuring he has all mediums to hand prior to painting begins, Green grabs whichever tool (and colour) feels right at that specific moment – purposely blocking out methodic thought, personal conversation and personal debate so that the resulting interpretation is personal to that moment alone and entirely a one-off – only satisfied when the outcome could never be replicated by himself, or anyone else for that matter.”
