Angela Johal
Angela Johal, the artist behind Johal Geometrics, grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area during the '60s and '70s surrounded by the energetically exuberant psychedelic art and music. Johal's smooth and pristine geometric paintings are reflective of her youth inspired by California's hard-edged painters and textile designs. Johal paved her own path as a large-scale geometric painter and paints full time in her Bay Area studio. Music plays a fundamental role in her creative process, and her goal is to create illusions of three-dimensional space with flat colour. Johal is fascinated by the paradox of geometric art, where shapes can be easily understood and complicated at the same time. "Geometric shapes speak to people of all ages, races, nations and cultures and are a balance between the world that is visible and the world that is invisible, they reach beyond what the eye can see."
