Opening Reception: Saturday April 6th, 1pm to 3pm
The works in this collection represent a wide range of Lisa Johnson’s work over the past 3 years. Inspired by landscapes in Newfoundland and Ontario, ‘Landmarks’ includes Johnson’s painterly large-scale landscape abstractions, as well as smaller observational pieces: drawings, watercolours and plein air oil sketches. It also includes pieces from her Large Oil Sketches on canvas collection — airy and gestural works, minimalist, yet full of expression and movement. As always in Johnson’s work, this exhibition explores an ongoing artistic dialogue between drawing and painting — with gestural “mark-making” and a passion for Canadian landscapes the guiding force.
