Eric Johnston
The Place That Keeps Me Up at Night, 2020

acrylic on canvas
49”H x 37”W

ARTWORK STATEMENT:

We have come to an arc of human history, when man is reminded of the momentousness of thought. Time will vanquish if we indulge in the luxury of silence, falling surrender to the institutionalization of disinformation. Now is the moment to rescue faith from the turbulent degeneration of society and bring it upon the ark of our covenant with nature. Today is the day in which to say “I am present and conscious, take this tormented reality away to make room for the power of duality.”
