Homo sumi humani nil a me alienum
puto ( I am human, so nothing human is strange to me ) -Terence,
in response to commentary insinuating nudity in art was pornographic and immoral
Daniel A. Johnson MFA
Contemporary
fine artist and sculptor Daniel Art Johnson specializes in organic figurative work connecting human nature and Mother
nature. Dan's art often reflects human beings as
components of earth. His art transmits a compassion and innate understanding, encompassing an array of emotional states and
physical conditions.
Dan works in a variety of mediums. High fire ceramic stoneware in combination with hand-manipulated
resins has made up the majority of his recent work.
Dan holds an MFA in printmaking, and has taught at many universities
and colleges, including the University of Nebraska, Bradley University in Peoria Illinois, Mid-Plains CC in NE, and Yavapai
College in Arizona.
He is married to Tina Johnson. Together they share
life, kids, dogs, and a love for art.
"I have been watching birds fly, and I think I could do
it if I was a bird."

STATEMENT
My art is about the human condition. Mankind is a complex creature
physically,as well as psychologically and socially. It is my goal to capture and comment on the physical being, in all its
complexity of form and at the same time comment visually on the state of the psyche. Morality, religion, sexuality, social
issues, karma and mental states are all intangible items subject to my scrutiny and commentary. When
dealing with the human form, a simple gesture is worth a thousand words. Everyone has a body and this truth makes it easy
for humans to relate and be moved by figurative art, even abstracted representations. My work
is not always pretty, but neither is life. My work is about truth. You can choose to enjoy the imagery, or delve into the
art of symbolism and interpretation. Good Luck.
Please look around. Of course, all is for sale. Thanks
for visiting, and your comments are appreciated.
Dan

What is manipulated resin? This
is a term I use to describe the use of synthetic resins, usually polyester resin. for use as a bonding agent with high fired
clay (cone 10). It also bonds well to metal armatures. Many of my pieces are created by adding multiple layers of resin over
an armature. It begins as a thick pasty substance and when mixed with a hardening agent has a chemical reaction which heats
and cures the substance into a hard solid mass that can be carved sanded and finished. The term 'resin' alone implicates
cast resin, and multiple reproduction. I use "manipulated resin' to clarify each piece is a one of a kind original
sculpture.
