Mitchell Johnson Nothing and Change exhibit at Truro Center For the Arts at Castle Hill September 7-18, 2022
Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill is pleased to host its second exhibit of the work of California artist, Mitchell Johnson, September 7-18, 2022. This survey exhibit, titled, Mitchell Johnson Nothing and Change, will span 1990-2022 and includes new paintings from Paris, Newfoundland, New England and New York as well as early work from France, Denmark and North Truro. Artist reception, Thursday, September 8, 4-6pm.
Chris Busa wrote in Provincetown Arts in 2012:
“If many of Johnson's paintings are titled after the places that inspired them, no such places actually exist. Each one is a collage of compressed intimacies spread out over the months it takes to paint them. He has done what Edwin Dickinson called Premier Coup, in which a painting is completed outdoors in one blow. Yet his typical practice is to hold a painting for several months, or more, in the studio, to see if a painting stands the test of repeated looking, often involving the process of memory revision, where a succession of impressions gained over weeks or months is expressed as continuous flow.”
An 80 page exhibition catalog with an essay by the poet, Jesse Nathan, and exhibition posters will be available at Castle Hill.

Art Scene Los Angeles Review of 2008 Mitchell Johnson exhibit at Terrence Rogers Fine Art
 |
| "Bornholm," 2008 40x70 inches oil/canvas |
It is hard to pull off an Elmer Bischoff sort of look these days without appearing quaint, but Mitchell Johnson manages this. He did not in fact study in the Bay Area but at places like Parsons, the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, yet the artist is apparently connected enough to the rolling hills of what could be New England that he convincingly presents bird's eye views of the countryside, of farms and wood houses constructed of puzzle pieces of color (one senses an appreciation of Cezanne in Truro). In fact, this is a departure or a tangent for an artist who normally creates abstract work built up of geometric color. What makes this series interesting is the way in which images lace together a brushy, poetic kind of geometry in paint that does not settle in the eye for depictions of nature. Quick, sharp lines and cubes fix farm houses and structures firmly in time. The result is something authentic and felt (especially Bornholm). It does not look like forced or corny gestural realism; there is structure enough that you trust this vision comes from disciplined looking, thought and training (Terence Rogers Fine Art, Santa Monica).
