Mark Johnson's creative interest lies in lifting seemingly unrelated subject matter out of the realm of its existing environment and unifying them to form a new reality in his mixed media monoprints.

Johnson exercised variations of Modernist abstract art and non-objective themes and approach to color pattern, which nurtured his dedicated interest in design and color. His early work from the 1970’s into the 80’s were inspired by the art of Piet Mondrian, Paul Klee, Joan Miro and Wassily Kandinsky whose paintings carried a research into the emotional and psychological properties of color, line, and shape to the point where subject matter and even representational elements were entirely eliminated.

Where Wassily Kandinsky began creating art influenced by music devoid of representational subject matter, and Miro was influenced by a method of automatism that released the expressions of the unconscious mind from the control of the conscious mind, Johnson uses a conscious process to compress and merge a variety of layers of abstract art images into a final image.

In the 1980’s Mark Johnson experimented with watercolor dyes to try to push the watercolor process a degree right or left of the norm. During this time he developed his trademark style of kaleidoscopic color abstractions.

Through experimentation into the 2000’s he has developed unique works of digital art where spontaneity and variety in the uses of color, form, texture and spatial relationships are achieved through various tools provided in computer software.
