Oshay Green

Oshay Green, a self-taught artist from Dallas, creates immersive installations and sculptures that draw from West African religion, metaphysics, voudon beliefs, and jazz. His works, made from humble materials like discarded fabric and metal scraps, evoke mysticism and spirituality, inviting viewers to engage their senses and contemplate themes of creation, death, and rebirth.

 

Green's improvisational approach, influenced by jazz artists like Pharaoh Sanders and Sun Ra, allows him to explore freedom and liberation in his creative process. His pieces often reflect on personal experiences and cultural influences, such as Helena Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine, which informs his sculpture Mundane Egg (2021). Through experimentation and trial and error, Green transforms everyday objects into powerful symbols, inviting viewers to explore new creative territories and contemplate their own narratives within his artworks.
