Adrian Johnston

Adrian Johnston is a Boston-area artist who makes drawings, paintings, and moving images. His work explores the perception of time across varied media, both as a theme and as a process. 

 

Since his earliest days, mark-making, movement, and the influences of Eastern and Western schools of thought have provided Johnston with a foundation for visual explorations in various media. His experience with athletic disciplines, including gymnastics and dance, has also informed his approach. Johnston constructs lyrical imagery in oil, tempera, acrylic, graphite, ink, and pigment, providing means that are part architectural framework, part fingerprint of the human psyche in landscape, and part play with the physical surface of the artistic medium itself.
