Q: What do you think are the concerns about the environment and landscape in this work? Do you see the influences of Magritte and Escher in this work? Name examples.
As man develops and expands, he damages the environment and shrinks edible living space for himself and other species. Some pieces of Johansson's work reflect shrinking space and finding new territories, such as the one with houses outlining a sphere and the one with a piece of property in a glass box under the ocean.
There are pieces resembling those of Magritte and Escher.
-The fish with a house for a back resembles Magritte's "Castle in the Pyrenees."
-The lego triangle resembles Escher's "Relativity."
