American artist Chris Johanson (b.1968) has built a loyal following with his vibrant and sometimes hilarious take on the universe and our place in it. His idiosyncratic paintings, drawings and sculptural installations portray the contemporary human condition with sincerity and wit, as explored in this new comprehensive monograph. Organised in clear chapters surveying Johanson"s work, including interviews, commentaries, influences, chronology and bibliography of the artists work, this monograph offers a panoramic view of Johanson"s practice from his roots as a street artist in San Francisco to celebrated exhibitions at the SITE Santa Fe (2002), Istanbul Biennial (2005), Whitney Biennial (2002), and Portland Art Museum (2007).
