ABOUT THE ARTIST

Anthony Green, a British painter born in 1939, is known for portraying scenes from his own middle-class domestic life. The imagery is typically mundane and relatable, such as domestic interiors, but the artist lends a humorous and quirky tone to the subject with color, graphics, and skewed perspective. Green maintains that his unusually shaped canvases are due to his belief that paintings have no edges and therefore cannot be contained in rectangular form.
