The paintings, drawings and collages explore states of feeling, through the formal play of colour.
Green explains, “I became intrigued with how the fan shape could function as an arc, and therefore make a reference to the rainbow. The colours I use, although different from the rainbow, evoke a sense of wonder.”
Born in Melbourne, Green moved to New York in 1969 where she studied under Mark Rothko.
In 1978 the significance of her work was recognised, when the Whitney Museum included her work in the groundbreaking exhibition New Image Painting.
Form, Subjectivity, Paradox brings some of Green’s most current work to Bendigo in a playful, rhythmic and uplifting exhibition.
