Johnson’s works have been widely exhibited throughout the Western States. From
1955 to 1957, Johnson attended the University of California at Santa Barbara,
where the painter and theoretician Howard Warshaw mentored him. The cubist
style of Warshaw, combined with the airy and light feeling of impressionism and
the abstraction of expression, influenced Johnson’s style of painting.
Johnson’s paintings often contain large, sweeping strokes, but a subtle use of
color that is evocative of his spontaneous, non-objective style. He has been
featured at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of
Modern Art, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and Gallery de Seine among
others.
