Chris Johanson (b. 1968) lives and works in Los Angeles, CA and Portland, OR. A central figure of San Francisco’s Mission School, the post-punk movement that integrated aspects of both graffiti and folk art, Johanson’s multidimensional practice encompasses painting, drawing, sculpture, design, and music. Incorporating disparate influences that underscore the complexity of life, his work is centred upon themes that include spirituality, sociology, and environmental observation. Johanson began working on figurative drawings and painting on skateboards at an early age. His compositions position themselves as conceptually open – they are fluid to interpretation and invite reflection on everyday life and the human condition.28 pages, 14 x 20 cm, softcover, Nieves (Zurich).
