Richard Johnson's abstract paintings have always been about juxtapositions, about explosions of jagged masses next to crisply masked streaks of color both above smoky, air-brushed shadows. An interest in the ancient technique of trompe l'oeil (fool the eye) painting allows Johnson to layer hyperrealist mechanical imagery (resembling welded steel pipes) and "crumpled paper" with abstract expressionist splatters.
