Painter and teacher, born in London. Green exhibited in Young Contemporaries in 1956, the year he went to Slade School of Fine Art, where he was until 1960, when a French Government Scholarship took him to Paris. Two years after that he had a first one-man show at Rowan Gallery, with which he showed for many years. In addition he showed with LG, being elected a member in 1964, and RA, to which he was elected in 1977. Green won a Gulbenkian Purchase Award in 1963 and gained a prize at John Moores, Liverpool, show in 1974. In 1967 he won a Harkness Fellowship to America, where he lived until 1969, by which time he had begun to establish an impressive international exhibiting career. In 1964 he taught at the Slade, shortly after beginning a long period of teaching at Royal College of Art. He had a retrospective at RA in 1978, a year in which his work was shown extensively in the provinces, and in Japan in 1987–8, A Green Perspective was held at Pallant House, Chichester, in 1994, and a 1948–2001 review at North Light Gallery, Huddersfield, 2001. In 2003, he shared a show, Obsessions, at the Brewery Arts Centre, Cirencester, with his wife Mary Cozens-Walker and in 2004 his exhibition Diving off the Wardrobe was at the Fine Art Society. Green’s work was produced slowly and featured his family and their surroundings, until the late 1980s the flat where he had been brought up and continued to live, then he moved to Little Eversden in Cambridgeshire and his pictures reflected the landscape. Green created his own perspective, a little like what is seen through a fish-eye lens, favoured oddly shaped supports and latterly pictures on free-standing structures. Arts Council holds his work. His daughter Katie was a painter.
