Tim Johnson : The Luminous Ground

4 Dec 2013-9 Feb 2014

Overview

Ikon presents The Luminous Ground, the first European survey of work by Tim Johnson (b. 1947, Sydney). It exemplifies an aesthetic proposition, evolved since Johnson arrived on the Australian scene in the 1970s, that makes him one of the most remarkable artists of our time. His curiosity and unpretentiousness are rare, and so too his smart knowingness with respect to artistic mannerisms.
