Jon Green has made a practice of documenting the world of graffiti and the hidden locations that support this underground activity. Train yards, abandoned buildings, and occasionally sanctioned free walls serve as his subject matter. In this body of work, all contextual elements have been stripped away to focus solely on close-up details of paint on decaying surfaces. The compositions emphasize mark-making and the energetic qualities reminiscent of the action paintings found in Abstract Expressionism.
