Ben Johnson was born in 1946 in Llandudno, Wales. He studied at the Royal College of Art, London and lives and works in London. He has been exhibiting his paintings for over 30 years and is currently working towards a solo show at the Alan Cristea Gallery in November 2010.
He will also be exhibiting in Gallery I at the National Gallery, London from approximately 26th November 2010 to 16th January 2011 (dates to be confirmed). This will coincide with a major Canaletto exhibition. A special work is being made representing the view from the roof of the National Gallery but showing the strong compositional relationship with Canaletto's "The Stonemason's Yard."
In 2008 Johnson was artist in residence at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. Johnson has work in many public collections worldwide including the V&A and the British Museum in London, the Boymans-van Beuningen Museum, Rotterdamn, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Regional Services Council Museum, Hong Kong.
