Johnny Morant
Johnny Morant is a visual artist exploring the complicated relationship between us and our surroundings. At a time when addressing the deteriorating state of our planet is imperative, Johnny’s work explores this strained connection. He creates work that encourages contemplation and awareness of these social and ecological issues.
By embracing a modern day heroic icon; the astronaut, his work considers theories such as the “Overview effect, the experience of seeing firsthand the reality of the Earth in space. From up there, national boundaries vanish, the conflicts that divide people become less important, and the need to create a planetary society with the united will to protect this “pale blue dot” becomes both obvious and imperative.”wiki
