  • Human Distortion

    Human Distortion

    "The human face is the most potent primary image. Looking at another person’s face reveals as much about ourselves as the painting. It reflects us. We relate to how the face or human figure is distorted, it effects our equilibrium and as such moves us. This is a fundamental idea in James Henry Johnston’s work. "

    Discombobulated

    More recent influences include painters of "discombobulated" images and his work shares a similar fascination with how altering the human face has such pronounced effect on our emotional response to the painting.

    Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year!

    I had a good year, featured as a rising artist in Wales by Buzz magazine. I was also featured by a Canadian magazine Fowl Feathered Review. I exhibited throughout the year and had a painting in the Glynn Vivian art gallery. I was accepted, finally, as a selling artist on Rise Art and sold several paintings via Artfinder. My work progresses into more expressive and dark territory as illustrated in my "Sinister Selfies" project - it is always about the work at the end of the day. Here's to another productive year in 2018! Happy New Year to you all and thanks for your support during 2017!

    Swansea Open

    Swansea Open

    Here I am standing beside my entry to the Swansea Open exhibition in the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery. I can't remember the last time I was in an art exhibition that was so busy, it was heaving with people. There was a real buzz of excitement too and I was very happy to be part of the exhibition.
