Collectible Description

This composition is based on the roof trusses of Smithfield Market. The receding ribs recall the animal carcasses which were still at that time trundled beneath them on barrows. This painting was made using masking tape and sprayed acrylic paint using a limited range of colours. After receiving a commission from the City in 1981, Johnson spent many days roaming around with a camera and decided that ‘the most powerful image was the Smithfield ceiling and the almost heroic structure of the roof’. This depiction doesn’t pretend to be a direct representation of the structure, rather a reconstruction of building’s innate rhythms and patterns. However, he’s also been considered a hyperrealist painter and his works have been displayed at the Hyperrealism 1967-2013 exhibition, one of the first major European retrospective dedicated to Hyperrealism at the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum.Ben Johnson was born in Llandudno, Wales, in 1946. He studied at the Royal College of Art and has lived and worked in London since 1965. His architectural and large-scale cityscape paintings are among his most popular artworks. The view of London was completed working as a resident artist at the National Gallery, London, in 2010. He has received commissions from the RIBA, the British Museum and some companies such as IBM and HSCB among others.

Artist Biography

A Life Woven Through Culture and Identity

Born in the vibrant, soulful atmosphere of New Orleans in 1934, Joseph Benjamin Johnson carries a heritage that bridges the gap between American roots and British influence. His journey is one of profound duality, where the rhythmic echoes of his birthplace meet the structured complexities of his later life in the United Kingdom. While much of his public identity has been shaped by significant roles within the halls of governance and education, there exists a parallel, deeply creative dimension to his spirit—a pursuit of visual expression that seeks to capture the essence of the environments he has inhabited.

The Canvas of Observation

Johnson’s artistic output is characterized by an ability to translate complex societal structures into evocative imagery. In works such as English Fife Front, one can perceive a meticulous attention to detail that reflects a deep-seated connection to the landscapes and cultural nuances of his adopted home. His pieces often serve as a bridge between the political and the poetic, utilizing diverse themes and styles to explore the concept of collaboration and the evolution of modern society.

In Market Arcade, the artist invites the viewer into a space of bustling energy and historical resonance, where the interplay of light and shadow mirrors the intricate layers of human interaction. Through his brush, the mundane becomes monumental, and the structured world of policy and science finds a new, fluid form in the realm of fine art.

Legacy of a Multidimensional Creator

The significance of Joseph Benjamin Johnson lies in his refusal to be confined to a single discipline. He stands as a figure whose contributions to science, research, and innovation are mirrored in the precision and depth of his artistic explorations. His work remains a testament to the idea that leadership and creativity are not mutually exclusive, but rather two sides of the same coin. Through his unique lens, he has provided a window into:
  • The nuances of British cultural identity
  • The intersection of public policy and creative expression
  • The enduring power of collaborative vision
His legacy continues to inspire those who seek to find beauty within the structures of our shared world, proving that an observant eye can find art in even the most formal of settings.
