work in progress Drawing by William Johns

William Johns is a contemporary Australian artist. Upon the first glance at his paintings, the viewer is captivated by the brilliant beauty of the piece, the fantastic composition, the richness of the colors and the masterful precision of the brushwork. The attention to detail in every element is impressive.

William Johns explores the post twentieth century world. He explores the new roles for both genders, new ethics, the meaning of work, and changes in family structures. The paintings ask questions. What is the meaning in some images that seem out of place? Why are the men in these paintings vague, resembling wooden mannequins? What is the relationship of this figure to the female images of fully evolved features and personality? Are the wooden men isolated? Are they retreating? Are they changing? The wooden figure may be a mystery or a fictitious character. He could be a self portrait or a facade to hide behind.
