Anthony ‘Bones’ Johnson

1940-2018

Johnson paints beauty and corruption as humanity battles between states of healing and purging in a skilful, vivid display of the themes of life on earth over the past 60 years. His works explore the cruel contrive of human nature, to which he was so exposed as a disabled orphan born at the beginning of WWII. Johnson begun to paint his way through space and time in South London as a homeless 13 year old Art student, his favourless wit and relentless exposition of the corruption of the religious and political systems continued to push Bones further away from the grips of society. At the same time, he bows to the eternal power of the feminine in all of her forms through the ages and equally, paints praises to the alchemical powers of nature beyond the human form, displayed in the enthralling landscapes of his beloved Ibiza.
