Meanderings 2 Painting

A.C. Johnson (1954 - ). American abstract expressionist. Expansive and divergent use of mediums, Experimental, with a reputation for unique styles and techniques of abstraction. Work ethic, flare, and temperament reminiscent of American painters of the 40's and 50's, including Kline and Pollock. Able to incorporate those influences along his path, while staying fresh and original. What he calls ‘paying homage to the hard-fought struggle to break the ice of one's own desire for artistic expression’. 'My desire toward expression has taken me down many roads, some dark or dimly lit. But all of the time, sweat, and struggle is erased by each and every breakout into that brightly lit field of beauty, put there for each of us. And through each struggle, finding that seed of understanding for the trials and tribulations of our fellow travelers. And a desire to, in some way, brighten their world, if just a little.’ ‘That, for me, is the destination, the journey, and the arrival...an expression that reaches the minds, hearts and souls of fellow travelers on their own road. A beauty beyond the canvas.' ‘What a privilege…is the joined struggle to get that right' A.C. Johnson
