  • About

    Kira Nam GreeneKira Nam Greene’s work explores female sexuality, desire and control through figure and food still-life paintings, surrounded by complex patterns. Imbuing the feminist legacies of Pattern and Decoration Movement with transnational, multicultural motifs, Greene creates colorful paintings that are unique combinations of realism and abstraction, employing diverse media such as oil, acrylic, gouache, watercolor and colored pencil. Combining Pop Art tropes and transnationalism, she also examines the politics of food through the depiction of brand name food products, or junk food. Recently, Greene started a figurative painting series spurred by the 2016 Presidential Election, Women’s March, #metoo movement and ensuing crisis of conscience, this new body of work aspires to present the power of collective action by women.

    My painting of @kyungjeon being shown @smithsonian My painting of @kyungjeon being shown @smithsoniannpg is now a tote bag! 😂 I just received a sample merchandise available at the National Portrait Gallery gift shop in Washington DC. I think the scarf is available to buy online. The Outwin 2022 exhibition will close on 2/26 before it starts the national tour. Please go see the exhibition if you’re in the DC area. 🥰😁😚#honored
