Alan Johnston, one of the leading British geometric abstract artists of his generation. Known for his large-scale architectural interventions and wall drawings including collaborations with architects such as Diener & Diener in Basel, Reiach & Hall architects Edinburgh, Shinichi Ogawa architects Tokyo and Hiroshima and Shinichi Ogawa in Japan, in 2013, he was commissioned to create a large ceiling drawing as part of the refurbishment of Tate Britain.
His work has its roots in the practice of art, architecture and visual thinking in the West and the East, and relates to concepts and practices such as Wabi Sabi and Minimalism. His work is also related to the work of Patrick Geddes. He has engaged in collaborative initiatives in art and architecture with Professor Shinichi Ogawa, Tokyo, and Neil Gillespie, Edinburgh.
