First from the Sea; First to the Stars 1986, Bronze, 14'-6" high Johnston’s art evinces his respect for the experiences, the intelligence, and the emotional life of his audience. People respond with heart and mind. His work demonstrates that contemporary art can be thoughtful, profound, and searching without resorting to abstruse coldness. The public has embraced what he calls his “search for human meaning in an increasingly mechanized world,” because it reflects and amplifies the same yearnings common to all individuals. This is the thread that unites a growing body of work encompassing several styles. Steve Mirabella, Art Critic |
