About Andrae Green
Originally from Kingston, Jamaica, Andrae Green currently lives in Springfield, Mass., and is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Art Studio at Mount Holyoke College. His seven years of experience also includes teaching at MassArt Springfield Technical Community College, New England College, UMass Amherst, Westfield State, and the University of Technology in Kingston, Jamaica. With support of the Chase Fund Jamaica scholarship, he earned a BFA from Edna Manley College of Visual & Performing Arts and an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art.
Andrae’s self-described “holographic” figurative paintings explore the Black male experience through lenses of the African diaspora, family, economic hardship, and speculative fiction, with a focus on cultural resilience. They have been featured through his representation of Jamaica at the Beijing Biennale five times and his representation of the United States at the Salon de Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. His exhibition venues include Diane Rosenstein Gallery, LA, the Art Complex Museum in Duxbury, MA, Southampton Arts Center New York, the National Gallery of Jamaica, Maddox Gallery in Los Angeles, William Baczek Fine Art Gallery, and numerous universities.
