Cedric Johnson is a multidisciplinary artist who works with a wide range of media, from wood and textiles to ceramics and printmaking. Johnson is adept at combining vibrant palettes with intricate linear patterns when working two-dimensionally in drawing or painting, and three-dimensionally, when sculpting ceramic masks. With a particular attention to line, a preliminary abstract shape takes form as he rotates the piece to find emergent shapes within different perspectives. Fractured planes and a Cubist style of portraiture are prominent in most of his work. Despite the abstract nature of Johnson’s work, his titles reference dense and complex original narratives that inspire his practice.
