Chris Johanson, Untitled

PORTLAND, OR.- The Portland Art Museum presents APEX: Chris Johanson, on view through May 27, 2007. APEX: Chris Johanson is the artist's first major installation in Portland and the second installation in the Portland Art Museum's series celebrating the region's most noteworthy contemporary work. This site-specific installation by the internationally known, Portland-based artist will combine paintings and drawings bearing his poignant social narrative and psychedelic abstraction with Johanson's first DIY light show. While his work is known for commenting on society's faults, the artist's activist approach is intended to connect viewers with their world and ultimately reflect positive energy and optimism.
