Description
Jameson Green is a visual language steeped in art history, infused with comics and illustration, and filtered through a highly introspective lens. Born in 1992, Bronx-based painter Jameson Green creates psychological parables that eviscerate the gruesome imagery of racism. His paintings sample art-historical references ranging from Jacob Lawrence to Crumb, Picasso, Goya, Guston, Kokoschka, and Rubens, resulting in a form of visual hip-hop infused with tremendous momentum and energy. Since receiving his MFA from Hunter College in 2019, Green has refined his practice over the course of just three years. This book chronicles his recent creative output, featuring his most notable paintings, some of which now reside in permanent institutional collections such as the Dallas Museum of Art, Pérez Art Museum Miami, and ICA Miami. Through his work, Green explores themes of corruption in pursuit of power, racial division, bigotry, and personal suffering. This book provides a unique insight into the artist's recent output, showcasing his remarkable evolution over just three years.
