With an affinity for the Old Masters, especially French artists like Boucher, Fragonard, and Manet, Carol Johnson’s bold use of color, exuberant pattern, and expressive style lends a unique twist to both her original painting and her recreations of iconic images.
This shows most clearly in her adaptations that bring new life to Old Masterworks.
Joy is the hallmark of her paintings. Johnson’s vivacious color and fluid strokes draw the viewer into the “present” of the subject, creating a timeless quality to her paintings.
