Al Johnson gives an exhibition
tour and discusses the work in COSMOSIS:
The Visionary Art of Al Johnson curated by Micha Hamilton
From sopacnow.org:
COSMOSIS features the richly layered and boldly colored paintings
of internationally celebrated artist Al Johnson. Influenced by artists like
Joseph Cornell, Paul Klee, Gustav Klimt, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Kurt Schwitters
and Romare Bearden, Johnson's creative universe seamlessly blends the styles
and techniques of classical and contemporary art into a powerful and ecstatic
vision of spiritually-charged works. Filtered through the prism of his
remarkable individuality, the viewer is invited to think new thoughts about
what art can be.
