Alison Johnson Art: Emotion in Motion
Explore Alison Johnson's current collection
About the Artist
Alison Johnson is a contemporary British painter best known for her atmospheric landscapes and abstract seascapes. Her work captures more than just scenery — it channels emotion, light, and memory. Raised in Warwickshire, she began painting early in life and studied Fine Art before developing her signature style: expressive, intuitive, and full of mood.
Motivations and Inspirations
Rather than replicating real places, Alison seeks to capture the emotional experience of space. “It’s not a literal interpretation,” she explains, “it’s about the sense of a moment — the quiet, the tension, the feeling just before the rain.”
Her inspiration often comes from the changing weather, the coast, or simply an atmosphere she wants to express. Working primarily in oils, she layers colour, texture, and washes, sanding areas back to create luminous depth. Each piece is as much about the unseen as the visible — inviting viewers to interpret and reflect.
Her Artistic Style
Alison’s work is characterised by:
- Expansive skies and hazy horizons
- Soft tonal transitions and a subtle palette
- Textured brushwork and layered surfaces
She uses oil paint to build translucent depth and atmosphere, creating paintings that feel timeless and contemplative. Her work fits effortlessly into both contemporary and traditional interiors.
Why Collectors Love Alison Johnson
