IT’S ART IF I SAY IT’S ART. OTHERWISE IT’S NOT.

March 16 through April 27

When he is not designing tall buildings, writing books about them, or masterplanning cities, architect Scott Johnson — principal, Johnson Fain — is painting. A selection of his mixed media works are currently on display at Eastern Projects gallery in Chinatown.  Says Johnson: “This body of work chronicles a series of ongoing investigations in mixed-media art which formulate a dialectic between a universe of rationalized form and one of intuition.” The art-making process of layering various materials, he adds, “allows for the creation of depth and dimension, a curation which both buries certain meanings while allowing others to emerge.”
