Jolanta Johnsson
Intimacy in His Body in Red

2023

About the Item

Jolanta Johnsson, experienced Polish artist, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, PhD of fine arts, university teacher. She currently lives in Sweden. She tells about this artwork: "Intimacy, as portrayed in this artwork, encompasses the entirety of the human body." The artist describes the body as a visual representation of a person's existence, particularly focusing on the male form. "Intimacy acts as a protective barrier for the body, allowing the individual to decide who can breach this barrier and gain access. Certain areas of the body are especially safeguarded, as they serve as gateways into the essence of the human being, both physically and psychologically. It is within these realms that intimacy and eroticism intertwine, creating an enigmatic aura surrounding the human body. Red is a warm, even hot, colour. It surrounds the vertical silhouette of a man, emphasising his singularity and, at the same time, perhaps his readiness to turn his intimacy into the intimacy of a relationship." The creation of this artwork utilises the monotype technique, a process involving the artist's use of stencils, which are meticulously drawn and cut out. Additionally, a relief print is applied from a linoleum matrix, adding depth and texture to the piece on professional, high quality Fabriano paper. Hand-painted elements further enhance the uniqueness of each work. The term "monotype" signifies the singularity of the artwork, as while multiple copies may exist, each piece is distinct and stands as a one-of-a-kind creation.

  • Sunset Today
    By Jolanta Johnsson
    Located in Boxholm, SE
    Jolanta Johnsson, experienced Polish artist, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, PhD of fine arts, university teacher. She currently lives in Sweden. This is how she writes about the drawing: "The sunset today is extraordinary. As the sun sets, its round disc descends towards the horizon to eventually disappear behind it completely. This is when it changes colors, which become more and more intense. This spectacle is always interesting, each time different. No two sunsets are the same. One day it was so beautiful that it inspired me to make this drawing. That day was today, so I titled it Sunset Today. It is a symbolic title. It acts as a kind of reminder – the sun will also be set today. Today is also the day to watch the sun wander over the horizon. Don’t miss it! When we are surrounded by trees, the horizon line is collapsed. As the sun sets, it hides in their branches. Then, for a moment, the trees look as if they are on fire embracing the fiery sun ball...
