Cheryl Johnson paints chromatically intense oil paintings as she remembers color and light that create lyrical compositions of abstract secret forest landscapes. Her paintings often reflect a painterly technique and a sensitive approach to color, light, and gesture. She creates space and bands of color that tilt and turn that result into biomorphic forms of color.

BIOMORPHIC:, "bio", means life; and "morphic", meaning transformation. In an art sense, it is a focus on the power of natural life and use of organic shapes & line work.

SF_September Song

40"x30"x1.5

Oil on Canvas.

This piece is called September Song as it was completed on the last day of September 2016 when the fall air was changing to cooler days. Look at abstract art in the same way that you would listen to a symphony, let the color wash over you. Let your eyes wander over the painting the way the notes of a symphony wash over your soul and emotions. Let your eyes play with the painting, slipping around corners, following the twirls, twists and turns, dipping in and out of the surface. Let your eyes dance around the piece.
