Kerry Johns: THE EVER PAINTED LAND.

Solo Exhibition of new landscape paintings continuing Kerry Johns’ personal encounter with familiar landscape.

In painting for this exhibition, I came to think about how trees in the future, and other denizens of the cleared and worked landscape, might mutate, …strange of colour and shape. I imagined a future where trees have become strange entities whose language needs translation.

The cleared country at Bywong outside Canberra for instance, held patterns of strange greens and, while natural, appearing almost unnatural in the sunlight. ~ Kerry Johns, 2022.
