From 1946 he devoted himself entirely to his art. In 1954 he took painting study trips to the Netherlands, France and Spain

He exhibited at solo shows including regular shows in Halmstad between 1946 to 1949, and in 1953 alongside fellow Swedes A. Jonson, T. Olsson and O. Lisper.
He regularly participated in the Halland Art Association's annual exhibitions of local artists artists from 1951.

Johansson’s subject matter included abstract, landscape, interiors, cityscape, still life and figurative works in oil, gouache, pastel or watercolour, with a strong influence of Cubism and a simplified colour palette.
