drawings black and white

Drawings black and white dominate Jolanta Johnsson's body of work. While the term "drawing" typically implies an image in black and white, possibly with shades of grey in pencil drawings, Jolanta Johnsson incorporates additional colours in some of her drawings. The presence of a single additional colour does not affect the character of the image. The work can still be called a drawing. Art allows for variety. Drawing definition is capacious. However, she prefers to work with pure white and black, often utilizing pen and ink. This choice of medium allows for precise and versatile drawing in various formats, even on a small scale. With a single line, she can accurately depict the shape of the subject. Simultaneously, the pen serves as a dynamic tool, collaborating with the artist's hand. Depending on the pressure applied, it leaves varying amounts of ink on the paper, capturing the hand's gestures and the artist's emotions. Skilfully condensed lines into intricate grids result in a range of grey tones that gradually deepen into intense black. The interplay between white and black creates images of remarkable intensity. By limiting herself to these two colours, the artist achieves a clean and minimalist aesthetic in her drawings, which can be called pen art.Flowers drawings black and white are a special case. The artist omits their greatest asset - the beautiful colours - and focuses on their form. There is much to admire. The construction of the flowers is logical and sophisticated. One could say that nature is ingenious and inventive.
