About the Item
'Untitled (#721)' 2023 by American artist, Clay Johnson. Acrylic on Arches paper, 20 x 16 in. This colorful abstract painting features bands of colors in red, yellow beige, white, and black.
Motivated by process rather than planning, Clay Johnson’s work emerges through a series of critical responses to previous decisions. He begins each painting by taping off one or more horizon lines. He then paints ayers on top of the other, reaching as many as twenty or even thirty layers of acrylic paint. Certain elements—a color, a line, a texture—may eventually be destroyed or revamped. Johnson’s intuition is guided by visceral reactions to the physical qualities of paint, the quest for pictorial balance, and the emergence of abstract relationships.
Clay Johnson was born in 1964 in Durham, North Carolina. He studied painting and art history at Duke University, receiving a BA in 1985. For several years he was the studio assistant for prominent American painter Robert Natkin in New York City where he also frequently exhibited his own work. Currently living and working in Laramie, Wyoming, Johnson has exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions throughout the United States. His work is in the collections of the Kimpton Corporation and the University of Wyoming Art Museum, among others.

Clay Johnson
Clay Johnson is an American abstract painter whose reductivist compositions explore the relationships between color, form, and texture. He lives and works in Laramie, Wyoming. Johnson earned his B.A. in studio art and art history from Duke University in 1985. Afterwards, he worked as studio manager for the painter Robert Natkin. Says Johnson, “Most of what I know about painting I learned from Bob.” The technique Johnson employs is extremely rigorous, involving, as he says, “pushing paint around with palette knives and drywall tools rather than brushes.” Johnson has exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions throughout the United States. His work is in the collections of the Kimpton Corporation and the University of Wyoming Art Museum, among others. The scraping and sanding creates a variety of different textures and leads to the emergence of unexpected forms. Because of the intensity of his method he prefers rigid surfaces, such as wood and aluminum panels, though he sometimes also works on paper and canvas stretched over panels. He prefers acrylic paint because of its fast drying time, which allows him to react quickly as the layers evolve towards a sense of completion.

By Kazaan Viveiros

With an interest in architecture, plus being a talented mathematician, it is no surprise that Kazaan Viveiros’ paintings are works of geometric perfection.
