Double Shot of Whiskey

"Double Shot of Whiskey" by Abra Johnson is a captivating tableau that marries the rugged charm of the American West with the refinement of fine spirits. This expansive 36" x 36" oil painting on birchwood cradled canvas presents a striking composition: a classic Stetson cowboy hat takes center stage, flanked by two glasses of whiskey on ice and a elegant glass decanter.

Johnson's hyperrealistic technique brings each element to life with extraordinary detail. The rich texture of the Stetson's felt, the crystalline clarity of the glassware, and the amber depths of the whiskey are rendered with precision that invites closer inspection. This contemporary still life blends elements of Modern Farmhouse and Rustic Luxury styles, creating a statement piece that tells a story of tradition, indulgence, and craftsmanship.

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.
