Elena Johnston’s New Collages Follow In The Footsteps Of Matisse

moray mair | Art and design | September 17, 2012

These collages by Elena Johnston are very different from her usual illustrations and designs – in which paint is the predominant medium – but are wonderful nonetheless. They are incredibly simple. Almost like a primary school project. The work of a child delighted to be playing with coloured shapes. In many ways they remind me of Matisse’s paper cut outs – a love of pure colour and abstract form.

I’ve included some of her older work just to give you an idea of how different her work actually is. I’m definitely going to be keeping up with her portfolio and I hope you apperciate it too.
