JIM JOHNSON

Airplane Maintenance, mixed media on canvas, 21 1/2 x 21 1/2 in.

Atlanta Artist Jim Johnson's artistic roots began at an early age under the tutelage of his grandfather, who was a sign painter. Johnson incorporates many of the processes he learned in those formative years to create unique works that are both contemporary and nostalgic. He often appropriates vintage ephemera, building collages on one side of plexiglass panels and painting the opposite with colorful brushstrokes and detailed line work. Johnson is a school teacher by trade, giving him high marks in our book, but he's clearly an instinctive artist at heart. We're delighted to introduce his work to our gallery clients and visitors.
