Biography
John 'Johnno’ Johnson is a Canberra based Warramunga man who was born in 1959 in the Northern Territory. He is an installation artist and printmaker working in lithography. His 1994 installation Freedom, consisting of handcoloured lithograph and mixed media, was purchased in 1995 by the Art Gallery of NSW. The National Musuem of Australia also purchased the mixed media installation Barb Wire and Bad Dreams that same year. In 1995 Johnson worked alongside printmaker Theo Tremblay at Studio One Inc and produced a series of lithographs ( Changes, The Gathering and Beginnings & Endings ) which were acquired by the National Gallery of Australia. He submitted these same prints into the 1996 3rd Heritage Art Award, 'The Art of Place’. The heritage statement in the accompanying catalogue explains that these works “relate to Namadgi National Park in the ACT where the artist worked as a fencer in the 1980s. They also relate to sites of occupation found by the artist, which were undiscovered until that time. The works also relate to the shrinking population of Dingoes that live in the Park” (1996, pg 17). This entry is a stub. You can help the DAAO by submitting a biography.
