ART: Colin Johnson

Effloresce, 2011, 8"W x 10"H, Mixed Media on Wood Panel. A new hyper-collage image created for the beginning of Springtime. Even though it's still cold here in Minnesota this piece gives me hope that the snow will finally go away and be replaced by warmer weather. I essentially wanted to try doing a predominantly white background with a rainbow of colors set against it.

I'm also happy to announce that this piece was created for Smithsonian Magazine and is the first of my collage works to ever be created as an editorial illustration. Typically I reserve this type of work for personal projects due to the length of time it takes to create pieces of this complexity…

Collage artist Colin Johnson (previously) has outdone himself in this recently completed collage entitled Everything and Nothing using hundreds of delicately sliced paper objects mounted on wood.

Approx. 5"W x 7"H, 2007, mixed media on paper. This piece is for a secretive upcoming charity auction here in downtown Minneapolis where it will go on sale for $99! You're not supposed to know it's me who did this. Now just look the other way. Better yet, forget that you ever saw this one!
