Jelly Green (b.1992) is a contemporary British-New Zealand painter. Her work is defined by her passion for the natural world. Having spent extended periods immersed in the global web of jungles and rainforests from Brazil to Borneo and Sri Lanka to New Zealand, Green’s large-scale works revel in the magnificent primordial canopies, while unflinchingly bearing witness to the brutal decapitation and destruction of the arboreal world. Her most recent work is focused on the wildfires that threaten many of the earth's forests: the paintings capture the savage, elemental forces unleashed at the critical moment when the fire takes hold.
