Ian Johnson Gets Jazzy with Of The Living Sky
Saturday March 20, 2010 |
 What ideal timing. Just as we gear up to release our new April 2010 issue featuring jazz artist Ian Johnson, Park Life announce they will be showing off his collection of new drawings and paintings titled Of The Living Sky.
This show will feature works on paper and wood panel and will run from April 2nd - May 1st.
The notable aspect of jazz comes from musician's ability to improvise within an established framework. Ian Johnson's art on the same subject is no different. His well-practiced work combines realistic and highly detailed portraits of great jazz musicians, with the confident abstraction of color and shape as a constantly shifting background rhythm.
Sun Ra, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis and Anthony Braxton, among others, are depicted in a manner that emphasizes the sometimes joyous, sometimes melancholy, but always thoughtful nature of jazz.
Ian Johnson: Of The Living Sky Opening Reception: Friday April 2nd, 7-10pm April 2nd - May 1st
