About
Jane Hayes Greenwood (b. 1986) is a British artist living in London. Hayes Greenwood is first and foremost a painter but works across painting, ceramics, sculptural installation and CGI animation. Beginning with an autobiographical starting point, her work reflects on universal subjects such as birth, death, sexuality, motherhood and mourning. In her work, otherworldly plants and strange objects exist in psychologically charged, psychedelic environments. Infused with a dreamlike sensibility, her work explores the powerful connections between the human and un/natural world.
Her work has been exhibited internationally including a recent solo and group exhibitions with Castor Gallery, London (UK), Stuart Shave Modern Art, London (UK), GiG Munich (Germany), Fir, Beijing (China) and more. She is also the co-founder of Block 336, an artist-run project space in Brixton, London, which she directed from 2011-2023. She is a visiting tutor at City & Guilds of London Art School, ESOP and she mentors at Turps Art School.
Block 336
Jane Hayes Greenwood co-founded Block 336 - an artist-run project space, studio provider and a UK registered charity, based in Brixton (London). From 2011-23 Jane was the Executive Director of Block 336. During this time the organisation presented 42 large-scale exhibitions and worked with over 170 artists; from those recently graduated from art school to the Turner Prize nominated.
