Painting for Lois Dodd / The Summer Ends
SOLD
Oil on Canvas
2020
An homage to one of the artist’s favorite painters, Lois Dodd, this work is titled Painting for Lois Dodd or alternatively titled, The Summer Ends. When making paintings, Johnson often works backward and in this instance, inspired by Lois Dodd’s techniques and her mastery, he renders the image wet on wet, alla prima. The image of the house, taken from the titular album cover of Illinois-based rock band, American Football, equally refers to the natural connection between the extraordinarily melancholic album and the mood set in some of Lois Dodd’s more somber romantic night paintings. Johnson reflects on how a composition may be specific to one setting while taken out of context, thus holding a sense of déjà vu or of universal familiarity.

About the artist
"I work from both found and appropriated images and photographs I take, ultimately settling on scenes that conjure a specific feeling or atmosphere. I am drawn to representations of drama, mystery, the uncanny, and romance; creating works that are an oasis from the tedium of the day-to-day."
