Ria Green’s work explores the resonance and affect of the environment on the spiritual, emotional and physical self. Through the process of painting, with a particular focus on raw materials, colour and texture, Green’s practice presents abstracted representations of ephemeral moments of wonderment found in the natural world. By capturing these visceral experiences of awe, time is suspended momentarily enabling the sublime surfaces to reveal themselves. In embracing the pictorial space, Green’s paintings offer deeper contemplation and connection to the world around.
