Lisa Johnson ARTIST
Lisa Johnson's paintings inquire into space and movement within the context of landscape painting. Drawing inspiration from on-location studies to develop large studio works, her paintings weave geographic, corporeal, and abstract sensibilities through layers of atmospheric grounds and gestural mark-making. Her work speaks to the passage of time over an evolving landscape painted with spirit and musicality.
For this exhibition, Lisa Johnson will be showing work exploring the coastal areas of Newfoundland, most recently from an artists residency at the internationally-recognized Pouch Cove Foundation.
This intense period of study led to an outpouring of creative exploration — en plein air oils and sketches, to mid and large-scale paintings — of the fascinating forms, textures and colours of Newfoundland’s rocky shores. Lisa's interest in drawing, space and movement as a foundation of her work is clear in her painterly and gestural mark-making, expressing a dance-like and playful abandonment in these dynamic new works.

Brooke Johnson ARTIST
No stranger to London, two-time Gemini award-winning actor Brooke Johnson has been seen performing her one-woman play Trudeau Stories at the McManus Theatre. She played Annie Sullivan in Martha Henry’s production of Miracle Worker at The Grand Theatre. Whether constructing the sculptural assemblages you’ll see in this show with wire, metals, wood, papier-mâché, flotsam, jetsam or used engine parts, Brooke, as in the theatre, is drawn to the idea of storytelling
