About the Item
Anne Johnstone’s 22 x 30 inch abstract oil pastel titled, "Landscape, Aprés Dalì", features organic, biomorphic shapes in muted earthy tones against a vibrant turquoise backdrop. Fluid forms in purples, blues, russet browns, and greys create dynamic movement suggesting surreal underwater scenes.
At center-left, a curved form resembling a stylized wave emerges upward, accentuated by a maroon loop. Rounded forms overlap and intertwine, outlined with white and ochre lines suggesting connection.
The turquoise background symbolizes openness, contrasting warmly with foreground colors. Circular shapes hint at eyes or dimensional portals.
Blurred edges and color gradations create dreamlike softness, inviting personal interpretation. The composition balances curves with linear elements.
This work is on 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.”
