Artist Crush: Celia Johnson

Tuesday, November 11, 2014 · 3 Comments

The reductive, pop-y work of Celia Johnson caught my attention recently. These pieces are encaustic and alkyd on wood. In her statement Celia writes, “I enjoy persuading liquid paints, inks and hot glowing wax into counterintuitively distinct, bound, or embedded fields of pure saturated color.”

    I’ve had a crush on Celia for years. Her works not bad either.
