James Green
Expressive Painting | Unstretched Canvas | Raw, Instinctive, Unfiltered
James Green is a British painter whose work walks the line between chaos and clarity. Known to many as The Artful Green, he creates emotionally charged paintings on unstretched canvas - vivid, gestural surfaces where faces, marks, and symbols flicker in and out of focus before dissolving back into abstraction.
Once rooted in meticulous draftsmanship, James moved away from control to pursue something truer - a way of painting that lets emotion, risk, and intuition lead. Each piece evolves spontaneously, layer by layer, with moments of erasure and revelation shaping its final form. His paintings are not polished objects; they’re lived experiences captured in pigment, unrepeatable and alive.
This fiercely personal approach has found an audience far beyond the traditional art world. Collectors in more than 50 countries now own his work, drawn to its honesty and immediacy. His journey from technical precision to instinctive mark-making is also the subject of a forthcoming Netflix documentary, a recognition of how his raw process and global following have built something both intimate and universal.
For James, painting is an act of truth-telling. Each work invites the viewer past the surface - to sit with uncertainty, feeling, and the imperfect beauty that remains when nothing is hidden.
