About the Item

Anne Johnstone’s, “She in Her Green Fedora”, is a 20 x 16 x 1.5 inch abstract acrylic painting on cradled board. The image features a stylized portrait painted in bold, abstract manner with geometric shapes and contrasting colors, evoking Cubist influence reminiscent of Picasso. The facial features are exaggerated and asymmetrical: one eye is larger, almond-shaped with black outline and elongated pupil, creating an intense, hypnotic gaze. The nose and mouth are simplified yet distinct, with lips in pale greenish hue contrasting warm facial tones of pink, brown, and beige. Hair appears as large, flat yellow shapes framing the face, adding abstract, mask-like quality. A wide-brimmed hat in earthy green and brown tones enhances the rustic vibe. The muted gray-green background allows the figure to dominate composition. This playful yet thoughtful exploration of identity nods to cultural and artistic abstraction traditions. The sides are unpainted, signature is on the back. 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.”
