About The Work
Recognized as one of the major voices of his generation, Johnson has created a nuanced and iconographic body of work influenced by art, literature, and critical theory that spans painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, installations, videos, and performances. In paintings, drawings, and assemblages incorporating manufactured materials, recurring motifs such as anxiously rendered square faces and mosaic compositions emerge. Soul Drawing resonates with the artist’s iconic Anxious Men series that established Johnson’s lasting visual language, which is widely celebrated and is featured in large-scale mosaic installations at the Metropolitan Opera and LaGuardia Airport in New York.
