Chris Johnston

I’m a painter currently living in the west coast of Canada. My artistic background is in the animation industry, I work as an illustrator doing visual development of characters and storyboarding for animated shows and movies. This type of work has given me a skill set of perspective, proportion and colour. I apply these abilities when composing a painting and I think that many of my ideas on how to construct an image are informed by that experience resulting in a graphic feel to the piece. Painting is an outlet for me and is something I am passionate about about, I’m trying to push my work to somewhere fresh but using mostly traditional subject matter.
