AARON JOHANSON


I produce a variety of artwork that includes photography, drawing, screen prints, collage and sculpture. I hope that no-one ever thinks they know what to expect when they hear I’m having a show. I myself cannot predict where the create muse will take me from one year to another. I believe it is important to address current events and, on occasion, my work does have an overt political nature to it. On the other hand, I feel it is also important to respond to personal aesthetic currents that take the artist to unknown destinations.
I have been fortunate enough to show extensively in Tokyo due to my decade-long involvement with Japan. My experience living and working in Japan has influenced my aesthetic enormously while I still like to view myself as firmly grounded in the Pacific Northwest and the crazy, wonderful art that arises here.
