Lift, 2012

Fully utilizing the color spectrum, Dion Johnson’s work consists of amorphous forms of brilliant color. Each work allows the viewer to focus on a unique interplay of overlapping, crisscrossing color and shapes, creating the illusion of movement and spatial relationships of varying depth. While the paintings’ crispness of line finds its origins in the digital sketches that Johnson works with, the completed works are truly a feast for the eyes. His extraordinary use of acrylic paint creates almost digital landscapes, enhanced by his ability to camouflage both brush and stroke.
