Metanoia means the transition from penitence to spiritual conversion and it is synonym with passage, re-birth and transformation.
When we look at Alison Johnson’s painting with the same title, this is exactly what we feel: we immerse ourselves in a spiritual world where we find repentance and peace.
It can be seen as a movement of the skies beyond our world, the cosmic force that makes things move or a passage to spiritual world where everyone can accede through art.
With a mixture of cold and warm colours from blue, turquoise and green to orange and yellow, the painting has dynamism and calmness in the right dosage and balance to create a harmonious image, both aesthetically pleasing and artistically accomplished.
It is an atmospheric artwork which can be viewed as pure abstraction leaving the viewers the freedom to interpret it through their own eyes and mind.
The contrast between dark and light and the subtitle transition from warm colours to cold colours and back to warm colours again draws the viewer’s eyes to explore, observe and enjoy the artwork.
Alison Johnson’s art is feminine, uplifting and intellectual and invites the viewer in an ephemeral world of mysteries they can decipher only by using their creative power.
