The refusal to settle is what gives Geoffrey Johnson’s paintings their tension and atmosphere. Balancing realism and abstraction, his work shifts between precision and looseness, clarity and ambiguity, always searching for something just beyond the obvious.

"I hope my work is constantly changing, because the worst thing to me would be to become boring or repetitive. My process changes with the painting style, depending on if there is more realism or abstraction. For example, sometimes things are really loose and other times not. So, the 'sweet spot' in the process varies from painting to painting and I'm always in search of a new one." - Geoffrey Johnson, American Art Collector, Issue 247, "Familiar Atmosphere" by Michael Clawson, page 59.
