Genesis stems from the Greek word meaning “birth” or “origin” and can aptly describe a young artist’s first solo exhibition. Jimmy Johnson’s enigmatic acrylic paintings allude to classical Grecian beauty, Russian iconography, Renaissance Humanism, and the illustrative nature of Japanese Ukiyo-e. His intricate works uniquely blend age-old techniques and contemporary artistic sensibility. The fourteen vivid images featured in Genesis seek to convey intensely personal and universal human experiences through symbolism awaiting discovery and interpretation by the viewer.
