Michael Johnson
Michael Johnson was born in Sydneyin 1938. In 1960, following the completion of his studies in Sydney at the Julian Ashton Art School and the National Art School, he went to live in London for seven years where he painted full-time. On his return to Sydney, he held his first two solo exhibitions, thus marking the start of a long and outstanding career.
His work is marked by a metaphysical orchestration of colour. His paintings are raw and intuitive, deeply connected to his intense and complex relationships with nature, natural process and mood.
Among his awards and commissions are work for the Sydney Conference Centre and the State Bank of New South Wales. He is represented in all major Australian and regional collections, and in numerous significant corporate and private collections in Australia and overseas.
