Description
The Jack Hanley Gallery, San Francisco, is pleased to present a solo exhibition of the work of Christ Johanson. From the age of 24 to his current age of 39, Chris Johanson has created works that transform day-to-day subject matter into simple stories in paintings that make bright, flat references to illustrations or folk art. In recent years Johanson's work, along with the work of other artists of the "Mission School," has become more of the most identifiable aspects of contemporary art in the San Francisco Bay Area for its highly personal and activist-like visual vocabulary. Johanson is well known for his often political, always social paintings and installations where he comments on the state of the world from where he is standing.
