Matthew’s art can “move an entire room and people can carry that mood wherever they go”… “I cannot imagine coming home from a rough day at work and feeling ill from looking up at one of his pictures”. It would have to be a day of complete annihilating wretchedness not to be able to rebound from the energy within them…..we have a ton of other gorgeous paintings by painters whose Monet like drawings couldn’t hold a candle to the spirit of Matthew Johnstons’ contemporary work. I hope that the people who really appreciate art have the opportunity to see his work before buying other pictures….”I love contemporary art…It is my hope that he makes it to the very top of the art world someday sooner better than later. Thanks for helping to illumiate part of that pathway”.

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009
The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities has made 100 elephants and 100 donkeys available for local artists to paint and display throughout the city. The elephant will stand at Metro Center in Washington DC.
The big guy is made out of resin compound and measures 5′ x 4.5′ weighing in at 150 lbs. The work is being painted at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria VA, and the 700lb base will be completed at the installation site.
After their stay in the city, the 200 animals will be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
