Matthew Green, born in London and a graduate of Central Saint Martins, creates work that probes the shifting boundaries of human agency in an increasingly complex world. His art investigates the continuum of image-making — from the earliest gestures of cave painting to the fractured realities of postmodern visual culture.
Through a hybrid approach that spans painting, assemblage, and digital media, Green reconfigures traditional motifs and materials, treating them as archaeological fragments of belief, ritual, and self-expression. His layered compositions often resemble excavations—inviting viewers to parse through remnants of past and present, fiction and documentation.

At its core, Green’s work asks what it means to create art in an era when permanence feels elusive, and authenticity is continually contested.
