About the Item
Anne Johnstone’s abstract oil pastel titled, "Flat Screen TV", features a central rectangular frame outlined in beige, white, and yellow lines. Inside, blue hues from sky blue to indigo mix with orange and white patches, creating contemplative tranquility through irregular forms.
A dark reddish-brown base grounds the composition, contrasting with the lighter section and adding depth through layers. Curved reddish-brown lines create movement in the foreground, bringing organic qualities that contrast with the geometric frame.
Symbolically, this evokes a window motif—the rectangle representing passage into dimension. The work balances structured elements with gestural marks, encapsulating containment and freedom, encouraging meditation on boundaries between internal and external reality.
This work is on 22 x 30 inch Stonehenge paper. The signature is on the bottom right.
Anne Johnstone‘s subject matter is her interior world. Her paintings and drawings are color dense and emotionally charged images about her inner life, everything from personal struggles to physical awareness to the world around her. Using acrylics and canvas collage on her paintings, she creates tightly knit compositions that vibrate with stilled energy. In her oil pastels, layered color takes on hard-to-define hues, while shapes bulge, defining space with both humor and determination. Her drawings combine crayon and gouache with pencil to create psychological dramas. Her style is most akin to abstract expressionism, with bold brush strokes which scribble and drip and declare themselves here for the action. She often uses a glazing medium to enhance the transparency of her colors, making visible the history of color application. “I am drawn to imbalance and asymmetry in my work. I seek to bring attention to those qualities while creating solid compositions.”

Psychedelic Abstract Interior in Oil on Paper
Moody abstract by Jennie T. Rafton (American, b. 1925). There is a figure in the upper left corner of this piece, looking out over the scene. There appear to be architectural elements such as windows, doors, and stairs, but the composition is highly abstracted, bordering on psychedelic. Of particular note are the symbols inscribed into the yellow shape in the lower left corner.
Inscribed in the lower right corner and acquired with a collection of the artist's work.
Presented in a new white mat.
Mat size: 20"H x 16"W
Jennie T. Rafton (American, b. 1925) is a well-known California artist, primarily for her abstract compositions. She and her husband Michael were ardent supporters of the arts, especially the Oakland Symphony Guild.
