‘‘Green’ suggests healthy options and therefore healthy outcomes. Green issues should be the first consideration in everything from housing, to health to education and beyond.’’

Ralph Steadman

Welcome to the inaugural Green Creates… art exhibition.

Artistic expression, in its many forms, has existed in every age, every culture, and every country. Art can be both rooted in history and a catalyst for change. It connects us to the past, expresses our views of the present and suggests new ideas and visions for the future.

As such, it is only fitting that we should call upon the support of the arts’ community today, as we stand on the brink of an uncertain future, attempting to hold onto the values and achievements that make us proud to be British, whilst working towards a new and better tomorrow.

Green Creates… is an opportunity for the arts community to show their support for the Green Party, our policies and our work, but also an example of art as a social commentary in a time of social, economic and political unrest. The theme of Green Voices called for artists to express their opinions on the issues of the day and they have produced work that encompasses everything from climate change to the ephemeral beauty of nature.

We are delighted at the richness and diversity of the work that we have on display and to welcome you to this celebration of some of the different interpretations of what it means to be green today.

Best wishes,

Jonathan Bartley and Caroline LucasCo-Leaders - Green Party of England and Wales

Cedric Christie lives and works in London. His work is a critical appraisal of colour and modernism as well as the exploration of the journey to form and meaning. After completing an apprenticeship in welding, Cedric used his knowledge of metal to make sculptures, which started the journey of his investigation of art and what it means to be an artist. His signature artworks, noted for their use of steel, scaffolding tube, snooker balls, cars, chalk lines, graphic text and the commercial fabrication process, have resulted in a string of solo shows and public art commissions both in the UK and internationally in Brussels, Antwerp and New York. Cedric has had three solo shows and curated a further two with Flowers Gallery; he is currently working on a new solo show for 2015 for Flowers Central, London. Cedric’s work is collected widely, notably in the collections of Anita Zabludowicz, David Roberts, Unilever, Derwent Valley Holdings and The University of Bedford.

Ralph Steadman began his career as a cartoonist satirising the British social and political scene of the 60s. In the 1970s, responding to what he called ‘the screaming lifestyle of America’ he teamed up with Hunter S. Thompson which resulted in his iconic drawings for ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’ and collaborations ranging from ‘The Kentucky Derby’ to ‘The Curse of Lono’. Many of his drawings were to be seen in Rolling Stone magazine and he produced his book of collected impressions of America, the Scar Strangled Banger, in 1974.

Melanie Miller paints in an idyllic studio on an island in the Thames. The seemingly bucolic nature of the paintings is underscored by a toughness, the layers of paint and gesso built up and removed, sometimes leaving traces of something before. The indigenous nature of the subjects is important: they are not exotic but accessible, familiar yet powerful, placed in their ambiguous dark spaces. She holds a BA Painting from Maidstone and an MA Painting from Wimbledon.

Born in 1975, Stephen currently lives and works in London. His work is an investigation into obsessive drawing techniques, semiotics, the glory of maps, and where landscape is seen as a receptacle for meaning. Through mainly drawing, painting, photography and printmaking, he explores the phenomenon of personal and collective experiences of place – both real and fictional. The inner view and its mark-making processes are forced to mingle with the shared space of the outside world – its culture, politics and its relational aesthetics – what he likes to call ‘inherited histories’.

Gavin Turk was born in 1967. He is a British born, international artist. He has pioneered many forms of contemporary British sculpture now taken for granted, including the painted bronze, the waxwork, the recycled art-historical icon and the use of rubbish in art. Turk’s installations and sculptures deal with issues of authorship, authenticity and identity. Concerned with the ‘myth’ of the artist and the ‘authorship’ of a work, Turk’s engagement with this modernist, avant-garde debate stretches back to the ready-mades of Marcel Duchamp.
