Duncan Macdonald Johnson
Painting
I have been living in the Tywi Valley since 1992 when I came here to study at Carmarthenshire College of Art, then based at Gelli Aur. I paint landscapes in a variety of mediums purely 'en plain air'. I welcome you to my home and studio at Great House.
My art represents an attempt to capture an experience of the landscape of West Wales. Rather than trying to create a photographic sense of realism, I hope to communicate something about the spirit of a place, drawing inspiration from its sounds and smells, its atmosphere and the feelings it provokes.
My painting seems to me inseparable from my sense of belonging in the landscape. I will often return many times to a location to paint it, getting to know it more deeply as i do so. I feel that this way of working helps to infuse the paintings with a consciousness of the passing of time and season. Having said that, I do not wish to reflect an idealised view of the landscape, rather, I aim for a truthful balance between 'wild' nature and the immense and ever changing impact of human activity on the land.
