Golden Worlds marks a shift within Veronica Green’s practice, moving between narrative figuration and increasingly abstract, immersive landscapes.

 

Across the exhibition, two distinct approaches unfold.

 

Earlier works retain the presence of symbolic figures—children and imagined characters—engaged in quiet acts of defiance, introspection, or transformation. In contrast, the “golden” works reduce this presence, allowing the landscape itself to emerge as the primary subject.

 

These paintings dissolve fixed perspective. Elements float without horizon or hierarchy, drawing on a spatial logic where each form holds equal weight. Drips and layered surfaces destabilise orientation, inviting the viewer to move through the image rather than observe it from a single point.Under shifting light, the works reveal further dimensions—hidden worlds that emerge in darkness, expanding the painting beyond a singular state.

 

First presented at Cospace Galleries, Shanghai, this exhibition introduces a pivotal development in Green’s exploration of light, material, and spatial perception.
