Earthscapes

Earthscapes are an abstract and painterly response to nature – not “views” of landscape as object, but immersions into an experience of place. Lisa Johnson weaves geographic, corporeal and abstract sensibilities through layers of
atmospheric grounds and gestural mark-making to create dramatic and emotional landscapes. These paintings suggest the power and mystery of nature; and despite our attempts to tame and control it, nature will fight back.

Earthscapes is an installment in the City of Vaughan’s PLANET EARTH SERIES, a tribute to champion international awareness of Earth Hour and Earth Day – both dedicated to global conservation and environmental sustainability.
