Matthew Green is a painter who lives and works in South Jersey. After graduating Rowan University, Green began as a printmaker and mixed media artist. Eventually he moved into realist painting, with decaying, dilapidated buildings as his trademark subject matter. He looks for beauty not in the physical structure of his subjects but in the raw emotion brought upon by neglect and decay.

Green's most recent project is a painting study of the mysteries and irony of the New Jersey Meadowlands called "Five Miles From Times Square."

The Meadowlands: Quest for dilapidation

Man vs. Nature, or something: An artist in the Meadowlands
According to popular belief, the New Jersey Meadowlands is a swamp where things go in and never come out. I went there in search of an idea for a grant proposal about the eternal struggle between Man and Nature. Couldn't find that, either.
