Louis K. Meisel Gallery now represents British Photorealist Ben Johnson
Ben Johnson’s paintings have been exhibited internationally over the course of his nearly 60-year career.



NEW YORK, NY.- Louis K. Meisel Gallery announced its representation of Ben Johnson, a British Photorealist whose immersive large-scale paintings of interiors and cityscapes explore geometry, perspective and architectural styles that bridge history. Long admired by Louis Meisel, Johnson’s paintings are meticulously planned and detailed for an outcome that is truly astounding.

“I am delighted to welcome Ben Johnson to the gallery. I have known Johnson decades, and I have always respected and followed his work. I am beyond pleased to be representing him as his New York gallery,” said Louis Meisel, founder of Louis K. Meisel Gallery.

From panoramas of international cities to imagery of individual architectural masterpieces, Ben Johnson’s work challenges his audience’s spatial awareness. His paintings feature compositions that emphasize the rules of perspective and elevate the importance of the line. The idealized spaces and places he recreates often are a reflection of the artist’s own innate interest and acumen for geometry. Devoid of people, these spaces create an opportunity for contemplative reflection.

A graduate of the Royal College of Art in London, Johnson embraced architecture as his primary subject matter after spending time in New York in the late 1960s. While his earliest Realist works focused on contemporary architecture and industrial design, Johnson’s work evolved to include many types of architectural spaces—International style, Neo-Classical interiors, and Islamic architecture, amongst others. Over time, Johnson began to experiment with views of city skylines, eventually depicting full-blown large-scale panoramas in the 2000s that highlight different architectural styles and their relationships within an urban environment.

Ben Johnson’s paintings have been exhibited internationally over the course of his nearly 60-year career. His work is included in numerous permanent collections worldwide, including the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. He currently works from his studio in London.
