2002 was the year long-time Mission fixture Chris Johanson achieved large-scale success in the art world, landing a site-specific installation in the Whitney Biennial and receiving one of SFMOMA's four SECA awards for emerging artists. Since then, Johanson has moved to Portland with fellow artist and partner Jo Jackson, where he has continued to create paintings that veer from brightly colored abstractions to more figurative work recalling his early, cartoon-like Sharpie renderings of Mission-inspired characters. This show represents a homecoming to Johanson's alma mater, Jack Hanley Gallery, and includes pieces spanning all the way back to his 20s, or in Johanson's succinct phrasing: "the time [that] went into making right now."
