“Chrysanthemum‘s bright red that turns up and deep crimson that curves down allude to the flowing petals and radiant color of the enchanting flower.”  

– Dion Johnson

About the Artwork

This limited edition 8 color screenprint showcases glowing color and perfectly aligned, abstract undulating curves.

Chrysanthemum was printed in collaboration with the artist and master printer Luther Davis at BRT Printshop (now Powerhouse Arts Printshop). Each edition was created by silkscreen printing (also known as serigraphy). This method requires stenciling techniques wherein ink is pressed onto paper through deliberately exposed areas of a mesh screen one color at a time.   

Curator's Note

Chrysanthemum by Dion Johnson gathers an eye popping red and other shades of pink to depict (in the most abstract terms) the flower for which it is named. Blue slivers of an afternoon sky and  deep night hues compliment the warmer tones associated with dazzling petals.
