TIM JOHNSON
4 December 2013 – 9 February 2014
IKON Gallery, Birmingham,UK
An exhibition of recent and new paintings by Tim Johnson, an Australian artist primarily concerned with the communication of unseen phenomena and visionary in his apprehension of spiritual dimensions through artistic practice. His style of painting is eclectic in the extreme, owing much to Australian aboriginal traditions of the Central Desert – developed to convey narratives in landscape that are invisible to the uninitiated – and populated by the Buddha, Bodhisattvas and Native Americans as well as aboriginal figures, Tibetan monks, Vietnamese farmers and extra- terrestrials.
