Description	“Johnson is a practitioner of a style sometimes labeled ‘abstract illusionism’, making paintings where apparently solid but abstract forms float in illusionary space. Riverfront Break may have been suggested by the industrial forms of the New Orleans waterfront, but these forms do resolve themselves into a recognizable scene. The real point of the work is its resonant, saturated colour, which seems very much a product of subtropical heat and light. Johnson’s painting is a surprisingly direct reaction to the environment in which it has been made.” (p.344)
