In work that is simultaneously comical and sinister, Chris Johanson comments on the predicament we face from our modern-day consumer society, where perilous issues, such as ’self help’, psychotherapy and the spiritual craze, are sweeping the world. Johanson’s abstract work, often using geometric forms and images which resemble starbursts, can be interpreted as a light-hearted, but urbane and refined commentary on Modernism. In The sound of energy in space, the space of energy in life, the artist presents both three-dimensional works, as well as music and drawings.
