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 an orphan born at the beginning of WWII. Johnson begun to paint his way through space and time in South London, quickly becoming a student of Art. His favourless wit and relentless exposition of the themes of corruption continued to push Bones further away from the grips of society. Outside of which he was able to communicate through the noise, a deeper perspective on the multifaceted layers of corruption and exploitation.
