Julie Green: Food, Fashion And Capital Punishment

Upfor, Portland, OR - June 7 – Jul 28

by Joseph Gallivan

Julie Green’s paintings on gessoed Chinet (paper) plates look like European Delft china, but hold messages about identity, security and bias from a female perspective. Exploring domesticity is an art world staple, but Green pairs it with ideas about decoration, art history, food and social justice. Ask about her giant piece on capital punishment, The Last Supper. Bon appetit.
