Johnson-Perkins' artwork reflects a retrospective and nostalgic gaze at pop culture, exploring iconic imagery and play. Recently he has used materials and subject matter which have a resonance with adolescent experiences such as: Lego, 80's computer graphics and 80's TV programs

Current artworks include: a giant army of totemic Lego men, which he calls 'robots', scrolling message boards, supplanted with jokes, giant signs, Lego plaques (Wall) with retro statements and a dazzling array of animations using 8 bit computer graphics and modernist geometric shapes.
