Joanna Wolthuizen
Artist. Founder of Composed Abstraction™.
Joanna Wolthuizen is an Australian abstract painter known for large-scale works that engage architecture through proportion, material stillness, and controlled geometry.
Developed in her Melbourne studio, her practice—termed Composed Abstraction™—positions painting as a spatial instrument rather than an image.
Her works are held in private and corporate collections internationally and are recognised for their structural clarity, enduring presence, and long-term cultural relevance.
These texts articulate the conceptual foundations of Joanna Wolthuizen’s practice in Composed Abstraction™ — a body of work in which painting operates not as image, but as spatial structure.
Across evolving series, geometry, proportion, and muted chromatic fields construct environments of stillness that extend beyond the wall and into lived architectural space.
Together, the writings trace a movement toward restraint, presence, and the quiet conditions through which perception slows and meaning endures.
