Still from the television show What We Do in the Shadows showing Laszlo speaking. Text reads "he's my best friend, he's my pal. He's my homeboy, my rotten soldier. He's my sweet cheese, my good-time boy."

I want this one on a wall here: "Such Brilliant Service" www.matthewbrowngallery.com/exhibitions/...
Each painting in Particular Dish is grounded by a table that anchors the lower portion of the composition. On each spread, the remnants of a meal accumulate into a painterly debris field of lipsticked glasses, smudged plates, and half-eaten food. These cluttered surfaces recall Daniel Spoerri’s Snare Pictures, freezing the moment just after consumption. Like Spoerri, Greene is less concerned with the feast than with what’s left behind: the residue, the evidence, the psychic weight of a meal already over but not yet cleared. 

Above the table line, diners are rendered in a cacophony of styles, shifting from observed portraiture to expressionistic caricature. Familiar faces appear at the table: old Hollywood stars, art world regulars, the artist himself, and members of his personal orbit. Their bodies twist and collide into one another in manic, euphoric configurations. Waitstaff weave through the compositions like unstable satellites, their features stretched and distorted into futurist machines. These distortions suggest not only the dehumanizing rhythms of service labor but also an unraveling beneath the surface choreography of hospitality.

The format evokes the tradition of the 20th-century restaurant mural, particularly the celebrity caricatures of Al Hirschfeld at Hollywood’s historic Frolic Room and Edward Sorel at the Monkey Bar in Manhattan—works that flattened nightlife into a social mythology. Greene references this lineage, pushing the format into portraits of pressure, excess, and emotional fray, charged with both manic celebration and psychological observation. His approach draws on the tradition of artists using restaurants, bars, and taverns as condensed stages for social commentary, settings where the dynamics of society are played out through the rituals of dining, drinking, and display. Through his varied approach to portraiture, exaggeration becomes both a visual strategy and a subject in its own right.

On Anarchism.
"The easiest way to explain anarchism is to say that 
it is a political movement that aims to bring about a 
genuinely free society - one where humans only enter 
those kinds of relations with one another that would not 
have to be enforced by the constant threat of violence. 
History has shown that vast inequalities of wealth, 
institutions like slavery, debt peonage or wage labour,
can only exist if backed up by armies, prisons, & police. 

Anarchists wish to see human relations that would not 
have to be backed up by armies, prisons and police. 
Anarchism envisions a society based on equality and 
solidarity, which could exist solely on the free consent 
of participants."
