Phyllis Green
Phyllis Green is an artist and educator based in the Los Angeles area. She has largely focused on sculpture using a wide range of materials and fabrication techniques to explore objects and their social context, gender politics, consumerism and spirituality, but has also produced video, installation and performance art. Critics characterize her work by its craft and engagement with surface appearance, diverse sources, unconventional juxtapositions, and grounding in the female body and metaphorical content. Her early work grew out of 1970s feminism and consciousness-raising, while her later work has taken inspiration from the Vedanta branch of Hindu spirituality. In 2018, ''Sculpture'' critic Kay Whitney wrote, "Green's polymorphously perverse and experimental thinking counters art historical assumptions regarding gender and culture, while her pun-making glittering and whimsical imagery acts as a shadow-screen for the serious and profound."Green has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts and Canada Council, among others. Her work belongs to museums including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Long Beach Museum of Art and Winnipeg Art Gallery.
Green is based in Santa Monica and is married to the photographer Ave Pildas. Provided by Wikipedia
