Oshay Green

Oshay Green, a self-taught artist from Dallas (b. 1994), creates immersive installations and sculptures that draw from improvisation, metaphysics, and techniques of sound composition, rooted in Black radicality. His sculptures, made from humble materials like discarded fabric and metal scraps, embody the phenomenology of found objects while evoking mysticism and spirituality, engaging with themes of creation, death, and rebirth.

Green's improvisational approach, influenced by jazz artists like Pharoah Sanders and Sun Ra, allows him to explore questions of freedom, liberation, and radicality. His pieces often reflect personal experiences and cultural influences, with sculptures carrying a ritualistic aspect that activates a self-determined ontology. Through experimentation and trial and error, Green transforms everyday objects, shaping their abjective properties and the uncanny into symbolic forms.
