Testimonials

‘.. especially, does Jelly Green, a protégée of Maggi Hambling and my pick of the show. The Light she represented is the light that keen nature lovers most relish, the changing light and shadows in the green shade of a green forest.’ - Robin Lane Fox, Financial Times 2024

‘I have watched the continuous development of Jelly Green’s painting for some years now. Her work increases in intensity. She is passionate about her subject-matter – the electrical charge for any artist. In 2019 she held her exhibition ‘Devour’ at the Oxo Tower and we were deep in the jungle, with just a hint of what was to come. The paintings held the authority of experience as she had travelled and worked in Brazil, Borneo, Sri Lanka and New Zealand. Now her forests burn. It is both terrifying and beautiful. We are here as witnesses of destruction. We feel the red-hot heat as her fires consume us.’ - Maggi Hambling 2022

'...just oil paint doing what oil should: twisting itself into the contours of its subject, becoming  leaves, vines, fire and sky. There’s a desperate message behind Jelly’s work – we’re chopping the rainforest down at a terrifying rate — but even so the paintings feel like a celebration of the jungle in all its claustrophobic enormity. If you can, buy one. Otherwise go and soak up the richness of these paeans to the natural world.' - Spectator Life, 2019

'Jelly has creative energy in every fibre of her being. She is poised on the brink of everything with an incredible portfolio already behind her', Christie’s Magazine, 2013
