Lambley Viaduct - Helen Alice Johnson
Helen Alice Johnson is a contemporary landscape painter with a BA Combined Hons in Visual Art and Art History as well as an MA in Contemporary Art Practice. Helen lives and works between Alston in the North Pennines and Les Chapelles in the Pays de la Loire, Northern France. She has an optimistic approach to life and this is evident in her celebratory landscapes.
The use of geometry, in particular geometric pattern is something that has occurred in Helen’s art work periodically as she explores the space in between a landscape and introduces a spiritual thinking into the relationship between people and nature. Helen uses other materials in her paintings such as microplastics as well as peat, elderberry juice and mushroom – incorporating the landscape within the landscape.
She encourages the viewer to think about the greater impact we are having on our beautiful world and asks us to be aware of choices we make regarding the care of our landscape.
