« 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.
