Basil Haden

Abra Johnson's "Basil Hayden" is a sophisticated ode to the art of fine whiskey. This 12" x 24" oil painting captures the essence of refined indulgence, featuring a meticulously rendered bottle of Basil Hayden bourbon alongside a glass of amber spirit on ice.

Johnson's mastery of light and reflection shines through in every brushstroke, from the gleam of the bottle's metallic label to the subtle interplay of whiskey and ice in the glass. The composition gives a sense of timeless elegance, making it equally at home in a sleek office, a cozy dining room, or a chic kitchen space. "Basil Hayden" bridges the gap between rustic luxury and mid-century modern aesthetics, offering a versatile piece that elevates any interior.

Abra Johnson

Johnson's body of work is a celebration of the tangible world, her subjects ranging from the lush cornucopia of still lifes — Coca-Cola bottles, Ball canning jars and sushi. Yet, it is perhaps in her depictions of vintage vessels and time-worn curios that her artistry truly crystallizes. Each piece is a meditation on form, light, and the patina of history.

"I'm drawn to objects that carry stories," she muses, gesturing to her extensive collection of antique jars. "These aren't just vessels; they're repositories of time, waiting to be rediscovered and recontextualized through art."

Johnson's technique is a harmonious blend of precision and intuition. She employs both alla prima and layered approaches, allowing each piece to dictate its own journey to completion. This flexibility is evidence to her expertise, enabling her to capture both the immediacy of a moment and the depth of prolonged contemplation.
