About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. “Fly Free” invites you to gaze into a skyscape that feels vast and unknowable, rendered in deep nocturnal blues and velvety blacks. This is a painting that sits between stillness and ascent. The base of the canvas is textured with pale, cloud-like forms—possibly mountains, possibly memory—offering a grounded contrast to the sweeping gestures above.
Hints of warm yellow and soft white arc across the sky, luminous against the darkness. These strokes are elegant and open-ended, suggesting the idea of movement—something flying, perhaps, but never naming it outright. They bend and sweep like light caught in wind, and there’s a quiet awe in the restraint here. Nothing is shouted, yet the sense of motion is undeniable.
“Fly Free” is all about atmospheric suggestion—an interplay of light, dark, and the tension between grounded and airborne. It whispers rather than declares, letting the viewer drift upward into the ambiguous space between sky and thought. It holds mystery without melancholy, a twilight moment stretching just before flight.
Artist Bio:
Alison Johnson lives in Warwickshire and works from her Studio based at Fargo, Coventry. Alison’s work is driven by the desire to display atmosphere and emotion of a place. Through art she expresses feelings that are often inexpressible through words. Her interest in nature and non materialistic beauty has been a constant source of passion since childhood, be it relationships between people, the struggles of life and the ever changing but constant landscape around. Fueled by a previous career in nursing, Alison aims to combine these emotions. Since studying art Alison has exhibited across the UK including Brighton, London, Chester, Wales, Yorkshire, and various Galleries in the Midlands. Her work has also reached international scale with work hanging in Italy, America, France, and the Middle East. She has completed various commissions with clients such as the Prince of Saudi Arabia and The Waldorf Hotel London. Inspiration is driven from travel, feeling and seeing wild and raw coastlines, to bleak and smoldering moors. Music and emotion are also translated through a visionary vehicle.
