Artist in Attendance
Borrowed Gardens, by Krista Johnson, is a selection of new paintings, large and small, which examine her experience with gardens in private spaces and on city streets.
Gardens and flowers have been a long enduring theme in Krista work.
In her previous garden and floral paintings, Krista purposely ignored those parts of the city, like fences and walls, which encroached on the natural landscape. But, in Borrowed Gardens, she adds these urban elements, not as encroachments, but as a way to contextualize, and to put into contrast, the more flowing organic shapes and colours of foliage and flowers.
Much of Krista’s work revolves around witnessing the world around her and the interpretation of these moments translated through paint on canvas and paper. A sense of energy and appreciation of daily encounters with these outdoor spaces is retold and interpreted through the physical process of painting them.
