Running in parallel with my current repurposed plastic work, this painting is part of a long-running body of work employing that oft-lauded mark of artistic authenticity and branding, the artist’s signature. At the same time, this particular work takes its form in an age-old medium and resembles abstract expressionism. As the title suggests, Signature Cluster was made by drawing my illegible signature multiple times in a cluster. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Signature Cluster, 2018 Acrylic and oil stick on canvas 900mm x 900mm ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #jjprojects #johnjohnston #painting #drawing #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #artist #artgram #artstagram #artistsoninstagram #art #artwork
