This piece is my first venture into portraiture. I was inspired by the powerful simplicity of the profile using the deep tones of crimson that represent atonement, and the face created with textured model paste to give it dimension. I hope viewers can feel the struggle and torment on her face as she searches for guidance in an increasingly sinful world represented by the crimson in the background and the darkness in despair in the black textured silhouette. I choose acrylic and the model paste for the depth of colour and the texture it brings. the model paste adds an elevated level of texture encouraging the viewer to touch and feel the emotion in the painting.

Gavin Johnson, a visionary abstract artist, uses the canvas as a portal to the uncharted realms of the imagination. With an unquenchable passion for colour, form, and emotion, Gavin Johnson weaves a tapestry of abstract expression that beckons viewers to transcend the ordinary and journey into the extraordinary. Born in New York and raised in London, Gavin discovered a deep connection to art at an early age. As a child, they were enchanted by the interplay of light, shadow, and colour, sparking a lifelong fascination with the limitless possibilities of creative expression. This initial fascination blossomed into a dedicated pursuit of abstract artistry, propelling Gavin Johnson into a world of boundless creativity and inspiration. Gavin Johnson draws inspiration from a wide range of sources, from the complexities of the human experience, psychological theory, and the promotion of growth and abundance. This diversity of influence is reflected in their artwork, which seamlessly melds organic and geometric elements, creating a dynamic interplay of shapes and hues. Each canvas is a testament to their belief that the human soul, like the colours on a palette, is capable of infinite variations, and it is through the act of painting that these variations find their voice. With a brush or palette knife in hand, Gavin Johnson immerses themselves in the creative process, embracing the unknown, and allowing the art to take on a life of its own. Each stroke is a dialogue between the conscious and the subconscious, a dance of intuition and intention. The result is a body of work that is both visually striking and emotionally evocative, encouraging viewers to interpret the art through their unique perspectives. Gavin Johnson has exhibited their work in numerous galleries and exhibitions, captivating audiences with their ability to translate complex emotions into captivating visual stories. Their art has found a home in both private and public collections, resonating with individuals who seek to be moved by the profound and the enigmatic. Beyond their artistic endeavours, Gavin Johnson is a keen sports man throwing the javelin internationally for England, winning multiple national titles. Movement is a reoccurring theme in his work drawing strong comparisons to his life as an athlete. The vivid imagery of colours undulating, swirling and merging together reflect the very nature of his event, controlled chaos.
