About the Item

Anne Johnstone’s “Enough of That” is 20 x 16 inch on cradled board. The expressionist painting feels like a close, almost confrontational portrait reduced to color, gesture, and shape. Broad strokes of brown, orange, pink, cream, and yellow build a layered face that seems to emerge from the canvas and dissolve back into it. The eye-like forms anchor the composition, giving the work a watchful, restless presence. Thick, sweeping brushwork adds movement and tension, while the rough surface suggests revision and urgency. Abstract yet recognizable, the painting balances expression and ambiguity, inviting viewers to read emotion in its blurred features and vibrant, overlapping marks. The painting is unframed, signed on the back, and ready to hang. 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.”
