Greg Johns has been a professionally practising artist since 1978, after graduating from the South Australian School of Art.

Johns is an artist who readily responds to his working environment and the wider landscape. His practice has extended across the globe, having completed significant commissions in Singapore, Spain, New Zealand, Korea, and the UK, all of which have contributed to a layering of ideas, concepts and technical fortitude in his work.

For the past decade, his art practice has, for the most part, focussed on developing an approach to making sculpture which is both conceptually and materially, Australian. Impressed by the breadth and beauty of the Australian landscape much of Johns’ work exudes both a strength and vulnerability and a sense of place.

Johns has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong, England and the United States. In 1997 he was awarded an Australia Council Grant to develop new studio work. In 2001 he received the Stonnington Landscaping Award for this artwork “Origin”, and in 2004 he was recipient of the Waterhouse Prize for Sculpture. In 2005 he was a selected finalist in the Helen Lempriere Sculpture Prize, Werribee Park, Victoria. More recently Johns won the 2011 Lorne Sculpture Biennale and in 2012 won the prestigious McClelland Sculpture Award with the work 'At The Centre (There Is Nothing)'. He was also a finalist in the 2013 Montalto Sculpture Prize.

Greg Johns is represented in many high-profile public, corporate and private collections in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, Bahrain, Channel Islands, England and the United States.

The Chadstone Art Collection also has another work by Greg Johns, “From Centre to Centre” which is located in the lobby of Vicinity Tower One.

A related work by Greg Johns is also located at the Point Leo Estate an Sculpture Park.
