His work aims to trigger a visceral reaction through the play of light and shadow in synthesis with the marked materiality that distinguishes these works. As with most of his works, Jared is interested in the process of the passage of time. Time immortalized motionless and in suspension, which in these works Jared seems to want to stop and commemorate. The brutal and precise expression of time is almost made sculptural and it is precisely this complexity that gives this series a captivating energy.

Jared Green is a London-based artist who has been living in Italy for some time. Proudly self-taught, after a prominent career as a creative director in the fashion world focused on achieving visual perfection, his art focuses on the exact opposite: exalting imperfection. This highlights an inherent harshness that nevertheless retains a captivating beauty through its composition. His work is highly expressive. Density and simple materials are used lightly. The stratifications appear aggressive only at first. Jared's most recent works take inspiration from Italian Renaissance architecture and the ancient palaces of Milan and Florence where walls peeled by time offer a refined rawness and hidden layers are revealed with great elegance.
