Who did you eat with? What did you have? Julie Green’s latest series asks these questions—quite literally—with their matter-of-fact cast belying the significance of the answers Green renders in vibrant acrylic on Tyvek. For the past three years, Green had been asking wrongfully convicted persons about their “first meals” upon their release from prison, painting their responses for her series by the same name. From December 8, 2021 to January 22, 2022, 13 of the 30 paintings Green had completed at her death this past October are on view in At Home with Family, marking Elizabeth Houston Gallery’s 50th exhibition.
