Butt Johnson

Butt Johnson is an American folk and outsider artist whose work has appeared in regional auction house sales, often characterized by bold, expressive imagery rooted in Southern vernacular traditions. His pieces frequently explore themes of everyday life, humor, and rural American experience through a raw, unschooled aesthetic that has attracted collectors of self-taught art. Johnson's work sits within a broader tradition of American outsider art that has gained increasing institutional and market recognition since the late twentieth century.
