Rondeau
Michael Johnson, 1993
The warm palette of Rondeau resonates an earth bound solidity, influenced by Michael Johnson's love of monoliths and the dense scrub of river banks and inland terrains. The intricate surface of this painting was generated by knots of pure colour and layers of line. The energy in the lines is both optical and calligraphic: a place where painting and drawing fuse. You can find this piece on display in the lobby of 4 Parramatta Square.
