Descriptions:
The One And Only brings together raw gesture, vibrant contrast, and emotional immediacy in a striking limited edition print on fine art paper. Bold strokes of charcoal black and soft grey form the suggestion of a face that emerges from near abstraction, while vivid yellow marks introduce a sense of energy and inner illumination.
The open space surrounding the portrait heightens the feeling of vulnerability and presence, allowing viewers to focus on the tension between shadow and light.
This composition invites reflection on individuality and identity, offering collectors a powerful contemporary work that blends expressive mark making with symbolic undertones. Sized at 24 x 30 inches and presented in a hand-signed limited edition of 75, it is a piece that makes a lasting impact while remaining deeply personal.

Limited edition print on acid-free fiber rag paper with hand-cut edges. Signed on the front.
"The original of this piece was painted on the streets of Stokes Croft (Bristol) in an attempt to minimize the amount of time I had to capture a portrait. I painted ‘passers-by’ for a matter of seconds and was very happy with the outcome of this piece. I don’t want for any of my portraits to look like any one person in particular, and feel that this work embodies that… it could be anyone.. perhaps someone you know, or not."

About the artist

Green paints directly onto raw, unstretched canvas, working instinctively, without preamble or pause for thought. His earliest work was observational and figurative, with a kind of meticulous precision, but, having demonstrated this precocious skill, he felt free to cast-off formal technique and to work in a more expressive way, characterised by loose, vivid unpredictability. The first impression is of gestural vitality and rich painterly effect – bright colours merge into murky smudges; sharp definition blurs into misty formlessness. There are sweeping lines; scribbly detail; indistinct colour washes; paint drips, flows or clumps into crusty accretions. Suggestions of formal structure are quickly subverted. Amidst this abstract maelstrom there are hints of crude calligraphy, figuration and human faces – ambiguous, half-formed, partially erased.
“The last decade has been about dissecting the human form in a process that is energetic, spontaneous and organic. I now find it more powerful to capture the essence of a person rather than to render an exact image. The paintings I make today are one-offs that I couldn’t replicate. They are unique to specific moments, authentic to me. I don’t look for or seek inspiration; I live my colourful life and allow that to guide the path for my practice.”
