| Richard JohnsonLos Angeles based artist, Richard Johnson, aka Dick, is known for both abstract expressionism and the elemental style that lends itself to the detection and identification of the 'art within'. It is the discovery of the sometimes unrecognizable subtlety that lends itself to revealing the inner soul of the art within.
It is not the intention of Johnson to reveal
the obvious by mere object recognition,
but allow the process of discovery through
the element of surprise. It is left to the
viewer to discover those furtive essentials
not immediately exposed, but concealed
within the surface. It is the under-painting
of textures and brush strokes veiled in an
almost clandestine manner that allows
the viewer to connect with the painting. 2011 Very Venice Art and Design Gallery,
