Helen Johnson @ Pilar Corrias

‘Opening’, is an exhibition of new paintings by Helen Johnson. It features ten paintings on canvas produced while Johnson undertook training as an art therapist, ‘Opening’ can be understood as a form of self-portrait of the Melbourne-based artist. Inspired by Lacanian psychoanalytic theories, the works on display together produce distinct affective registers for intimate explorations of love, loss, subject-hood and belonging.
