About this artwork
These "discombobulated" images all share a similar fascination with how altering the human face has such pronounced effect on our emotional response to the painting. Painting in a discombobulated style also allows an artist to express profound psychological states such as dissociation. It expresses that which cannot be expressive via figurative means.
This oil painting seeks to convey the dissociation that is associated with Complex PTSD. l

« The human face is the most potent primary image. Looking at another person’s face reveals and reflects us. »
James Henry Johnston is an Irish artist whose love for cinema is incorporated into his artwork. He gives his paintings a vibrancy that evokes a sense of movement to his still life pieces. Each series that comes from the Irishman is based around a particular theme and he sees the human face as the most potent primary image. Johnston uses his fingers and palette knife - as well as his brush - to distort the subject in his artworks.
