Elliott Green is an artist who paints abstract and gesturally expressive landscape works that depict surreal geographic terrains.
[citation needed] Green's early work consists of figural drawings, prints, and paintings that depict crowds of people in a cartoon-like style, often in a humorous or subversive manner.
[4] Critics have described his landscapes for their essentially abstract nature, where forms of mountains, clouds, water, and land are present yet never fully legible.
[5] His work has also been described as otherworldly, sci-fi, and as having a digital yet highly tactile appearance that comes from his creative use of sponges and palette knives while applying gradients of colors.
His paintings have an expressive, gestural style and cohesive vocabulary of abstract shapes that reference geological formations and seem to blend the internal psychological states with the external world.
