Chris Johanson

Chris Johanson is an American artist whose idiosyncratic paintings, drawings and sculptural installations address the contemporary human condition with sincerity and wit, placing him in a long and distinguished lineage of artists who have attempted to portray not only objects, people and events but also the ineffable fabric that binds them together. Johanson has built a loyal following with his vibrant and sometimes hilarious take on the universe and our place in it. This monograph offers a panoramic view of Johanson's practice from his roots as a street artist in San Francisco to his celebrated exhibitions. Published by Phaidon, 2013, hardcover with dusjacket, 160 pages, 12 x 10 inches.
