Reflecting on life and the material footprint that humans leave behind, he has abandoned wood substrates for discarded drop cloths and clothing stretched over found stretcher-bar materials, creating slow and meticulous paintings reminiscent of ancient frescoes or mandalas. This fully illustrated exhibition catalog highlights these latest works, with subject matter ranging from swirling abstractions to floating emotive heads to armies of ants. Johanson also incorporates six artworks by his late friend and fellow artist Chris Corales and a collaborative furniture piece by the artist and his partner, Johanna Jackson. This underscores the artist's exploration of both bereavement and collaboration as meaningful components of meditative and balanced artistic activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Johanson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1734405244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781734405248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mitchell-Innes \u0026amp; Nash\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.30h x 8.60w x 0.80d","brand":"Chris Johanson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069126471935,"sku":"9781734405248","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d179011-c636-4e95-ba62-973ef9bab235.jpg?v=1685422958","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chris-johanson-chris-johanson-9781734405248","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
