Fish pond (2022) 100 x 70cm, Mixed media and phosphorescent paint
Painting Description
Fish Pond (2022) reflects a moment of quiet introspection within Green’s figurative practice. The painting presents a young boy leaning over a pond populated by large koi, captured from a bird’s-eye perspective that introduces both distance and contemplation.
The simple act of fishing becomes a metaphor for endurance and patience. The stillness of the figure contrasts with the powerful presence of the koi beneath the surface, suggesting unseen forces that accompany personal struggle and growth. Through this restrained narrative, Green transforms a familiar scene into a meditation on resilience and quiet strength.
Rather than depicting conflict directly, the work focuses on the suspended moment between effort and outcome. The calm surface of the water conceals a deeper tension, inviting viewers to reflect on the role of perseverance and reflection in navigating life’s uncertainties.
