Morgan Burton Johnson

I am an outsider artist. I have no formal training in art, but have studied its styles, evolution and history since my first commission at age 8. I mastered oil painting, watercolor, and encaustic media while investigating a wide variety of subjects, toiling through Realism, Impressionism, Pointillism, Abstract and other styles. As my investigations grew, my work appeared in series which often used a concept or idea as a poetic metaphor as its seed. There are now over 50+ series, of various lengths, covering such diverse subjects as integrity, awareness, fantasy, isolation, companionship, celebrity, pattern, and water as a metaphor of love to name just a few.

 
Though I became a minor but recognized artist because of my Pointillist work in the 1970s through the 1990s, I am currently working in my own unique style I call Fractionalism, which a melding of both color theory, cubism, abstraction and realism. My subjects remain varied within a series, usually identifiable. My current work voices and reflects the reality in which we currently reside: what I see as a fractured world, whether it's digital units, light pulses or sound bites. 

 I have been painting and displaying in public venues since the age of 16.

Currently available paintings are sent to the buyer unframed, but shipped free within the continental United States.
