Nymphaea Nymphaea, the first solo museum exhibition by celebrated writer and painter Anna Johnson, will open today, 3 October, at the New England Regional Art Museum (NERAM).
Drawing inspiration from Claude Monet’s late mural works, this show marks a compelling fusion of contemporary abstraction and historic Impressionism.
Johnson’s exhibition reinterprets Monet’s Nymphéas series through large-scale, site-specific paintings that explore duality, perspective, and immersive visual rhythm. The exhibition title, Nymphaea Nymphaea, suggests a mirrored doubling – reflected in both the formal structure of the show and the interplay of light and shadow within the works themselves.
