Alison Johnson

Alison Johnson’s atmospheric oil paintings are vibrant and seductive and focal points for any space. By expressing the power of light playing amongst the water drops, this artist shows the abstract, surreal side to the natural world.

Alison’s seascapes utilise colours sinking below a piercing white surface as oceans and landscapes drift in and out of a sweeping hazy mist. The sky appears deep and brooding, with the colours revealing a darkness that battles with flashes of light. When shapes and figures do reveal themselves they appear lost and fragile against the infinite space of the world around.

Such is the atmosphere contained in these works they could easily be viewed as pure abstractions, each detail vital enough to stand alone. Ephemeral, warm powerful and evocative she creates a sense of movement through colour, light and balance.
