Brilliant Art of Miles Johnston

There is two –D, three-D, and Mile Johnston-D. In grays and with fortitude he shows a truth Not seen in other paintings He strips away sadness, Presents faces taken apart, or quadruplicated There is an unexpected component in his art That rivals Dali’s, but in gray tone, not color. Nurtured and excited, I study his drawings There is a hollowness that somehow completes them Makes them more real than other drawings His chronic faces, ability to strip the mask off, Or change the body into a triplicated or quadruplicated vessel Amazes and astounds me One thing for sure, there is a haunting to his art. A longing, a keening, and once you have seen his creations You can never again see another one without knowing it Belongs to the brilliant Miles Johnston.
