Bill Johnson's non-objective landscapes invite us to leave old habits behind and explore a landscape of the mind. "We all see what we want to see. So, come play, and enjoy the ride that we create together."

Artist statement

 As an artist I consider it my job to examine what has been done before and create something different. I appreciate the influences of Van Gogh, M. C. Escher, Maxfield Parish and Dali in my work. Many label my work abstract, for me it is not abstracting from life but creating a non-objective work. In my experiments with mixed media I discover the interactions of the materials with a shelf-life. The temporality of these mediums fills me with delight in that nature will inevitably reclaim that which we for only a short time lay claim to. 

It is fortunate that I was raised in poverty in a rural setting that allowed me to connect with nature. Lack of possessions sparked the desire to create a world devoid of oppressive monetary constructs, allowing for a deeper perception of ‘human nature’.
