The Art of Glenn Green

Glen Green is a BC based artist who is especially drawn to painting sports personalities.

Green has a unique ability to capture the dynamic athletic movements of his subjects. His paintings are always accurately rendered. Most of Glen’s paintings consist of a loose wash background which lends itself in particular to sports images. It gives a feeling of motion and action. It also makes for a nice mixture of contemporary and realism.

Glen was commissioned by the Royal Canadian Mint to design 12 quarters featuring Olympic sports which were released leading up to the 2010 Vancouver games. Glen’s work has also been commissioned by Tim Horton’s, Coca-Cola and Molson’s Brewery to name a few.
