Glimpses and samples of Aztec sun worship, the occult, pagan ritual, Native American totem and folkloric decoration are present in the sculptural work of Steve Green as he plunders the belief systems of metaphysical shapes and objects. However, his use of sleek, highly polished acrylic and glossy petro-chemical colour, is loaded with the surface and design elements of the sign, freed from direct signification, to instead connote a more general mysticism. A resolution from the realms of ‘New Generation’ abstraction, of appropriated forms from abandoned minimalist trajectories. Green attempts to communicate without absolute, relying on an interpretation that objects hold certain transcendental properties to more receptive onlookers.
