Johannessen er opprinnelig fra J\u00f8rpeland og driver keramikkverksted og galleri i \u00d8vregaten i Bergen, et historisk verksted fra 1878 som har st\u00e5tt uforandret siden den gang. Han utdannet seg ved Norsk kunsth\u00e5ndverkskole og Kunsth\u00f8gskolen i Bergen, og har siden etablert seg som en av landets mest markante keramikere.<\/p>\n
Han er s\u00e6rlig kjent for sine skulpturelle lysestaker, ofte omtalt som \u00abbarokklysestaker\u00bb. Arbeidene hans tar utgangspunkt i antikken og barokken, men tilh\u00f8rer tydelig v\u00e5r egen tid. I tillegg til keramiske skulpturer arbeider Johannessen med tegning, kull, tusj og silketrykk i store formater.<\/p>\n
Alle arbeidene er laget i steingodsleire, noen ogs\u00e5 i porselen. Kunstneren arbeider ofte med flere lysestaker og skulpturer samtidig, og lar serier og temaer vokse fram over tid. Prosessen preges av grundighet og presisjon, med langsom brenning og n\u00f8ye montering \u2013 et h\u00e5ndverk som krever b\u00e5de t\u00e5lmodighet og erfaring.<\/p>\n
