Megaphones & Monoliths includes over a dozen recent drawings, primarily executed in oil based pigment sticks, as well as architectural sculpture of wire, wood and wax, installed in our storefront project space. Johnson’s drawings explore the tenuous balance between order and chaos essential to navigating the challenges of being human. He embraces the absurd while utilizing formal anchors to create worlds that feel familiar despite impossible elements like mountains made of pie or fish tethered to the skyline. The work inspires joy and laughter in its details while a melancholic nostalgia and longing are present throughout, often found in the nods to the mountainous landscapes or coastlines of his youth.

Exhibition Dates: January 31st to February 28th
