Anne Johnstone Abstract Paintings

American, b. 1957

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.”

He taught painting for thirty years as head of a large art faculty in an Oldham comprehensive school, before taking early retirement in 1996 to concentrate on producing his own work. Capper produces on-the-spot sketches which are then taken into his studio where he re-works them into a painting. Both his landscapes and his still-life paintings reflect the influences of the cubists and the fauves. The work of Picasso, Braque and Matisse are amongst his major influences. Capper still lives and works near Oldham, in the Pennines...
