Synopsis: In Chris Johanson's open-wound heart and comically sinister universe, nudist dancers, good vibes, emotionally centered people, forest energy and rainbows transform the fleeting and commonplace activities of the human experience into affecting parables frozen in time. Assembled here for the first time, over ten years of this artist's works are jam packed into one volume. Chris Johanson is an artist dedicated to exploring the quandary that is the modern human condition, traversing the age of consumerism, and other perilous psychological phenomena such as self-help, psychotherapy, and cult spirituality. A veteran of the Northern California punk/skate scene, Johanson has been creating visual images since he was a teenager. His early raw, figurative drawings often utilized found or discarded materials such as reclaimed wood and paper, which were often found in dumpsters or construction sites. Since then he has expanded his oeuvre to include three-dimensional conceptual sculpture and abstraction, albeit executed with a sensitivity and wit perhaps unchallenged by any other artist of his generation.
