Oshay Green

Oshay Green forges surreal, ritualistic sculptures and installations that pulse with spirituality and political resonance. Drawing from his background as a welder and sound designer, he imbues humble materials—such as concrete, charcoal, rope, fabric, and metal scraps—with uncanny energy, exploring themes of creation, decay, and transcendence. Green’s practice is rooted in improvisation and ritual, influenced by jazz luminaries like Pharaoh Sanders, Sun Ra, and Alice Coltrane. His structures often include industrial detritus assembled into ceremonial forms—brushes made of rope dipped into concrete, cement-bound charcoal fire pits, or claw‑like steel frames—each charged with mythological weight. His work interrogates the material legacies and spiritual potential of everyday objects, tapping into diasporic metaphysics and Black radical thought. For Green, objects are not inert; they become vessel‑like proxies for ritual gestures—tools of transformation and liberation. Improvisation, material resonance, and poetic excess underscore his visual language. Whether through ink markings brushed with rope or sculptural forms shaped by concrete’s unpredictability, Green relinquishes control to chance, inviting viewers into metaphysical landscapes that defy fixed meaning. Through this richly textured approach, Oshay Green constructs art that speaks in echoes—echoes of myth, of ritual, of possibility—inviting viewers to step beyond representation and toward transformative experience. ...
