A lush, verdant field of green spray enamel is applied directly over a Lambda photographic print, creating a tension between the obscured image beneath and the bold gestural marks on its surface. Johnson's layering of industrial spray paint onto a photographic substrate challenges the documentary nature of photography while exploring themes of concealment and transformation. The work is presented in a frame designed by the artist himself, further asserting Johnson's control over the complete aesthetic experience of the piece.
