Molly Greene multi-disciplinary work is inspired by the writings of philosophers and critics from her academic studies. She focuses on a critical examination of notions of the ‘femme’. Her paintings of flowers and plants, rendered in pastel hues, are reminiscent of botanical studies, however, Greene disrupts the traditionally feminine associated objects, giving her botanical structures their own agency to replicate and spread across the canvas. In doing so, the artist playfully explores the dichotomy of object and subjecthood.
Born in Vermont, United States in 1986, Greene received a PhD, MA and MPhil in American Studies from Yale University, graduating in 2019. Her work has been exhibited extensively in solo and group exhibitions in the United Kingdom and the United States. She lives and works in Los Angeles.
