| Jools Johnson | |
)
|
Jools Johnson (b.1974 Wrexham, Wales) lives and works in London. Since completing an MA Painting at Wimbledon School of Art in 2002, Jools’ practice has evolved into predominately conceptual, installation and construction work that has been widely exhibited within the UK and recently internationally. |
| About the Artist | |
The most recent project, ‘God lives in Detail’ (2007- ), involves deconstructing and assembling constructions from recycled computers. Escapism is the considered theme as Jools presents his love / hate relationship with computers. As one of billions who enslave their deteriorating eyes at the pixilated screen, Jools finds solace in constructing a beauty of his own from the discarded machines that now stockpile in recycling centres. |

A Long Walk Ruined
2008 |
)
|
| Installation at Museo della Permanente, Milan, Italy. (Profilo d'Arte 2008).
The tee pegs are secured randomly within a formal structure to form the illusion of a piece of manicured grass. The work reflects the reality of a golf course being man-made and perfectly landscaped, illustrating man’s impact on redesigning nature. Additionally, as a green tee peg is a rarity within the game, the material used for the installation not only creates an illusion of nature but also mirrors the scarcity of nature’s resources. In a society caught in the presence of global warming, the work ‘A Long Walk Ruined’ 2008, re-evaluates our perception of our surroundings. The image captures an idealistic view of nature, yet underneath reveals a darker side that mimics the true reality of the world in its current state. |
