Blue Ribbon Coffee

Abra Johnson's "Blue Ribbon Coffee" transforms a vintage tin into a mesmerizing work of art. This oil painting, painstakingly rendered on a custom-cut Birchwood panel, captures every detail of the weathered label and metallic surface with hyperrealistic precision. The shaped wood, mirroring the tin's form, adds a unique three-dimensional quality to this 7" x 16" piece.

Perfect for kitchen or dining room, this artwork bridges nostalgia and contemporary design. Its grey palette, accented with subtle blues and rustic tones, complements both minimalist and modern farmhouse aesthetics.

Protected with a clear archival varnish, which ensures the vibrancy of its colors and the integrity of the painting for years to come., "Blue Ribbon Coffee" offers a slice of Americana that elevates the everyday to fine art.

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.
