Former Juxtapoz feature Ian Johnson is teaming up with Sadie Barnette for a two-person exhibit, Last Time It Was Gray, at San Francisco's Park Life, opening July 8. The show will features figurative elements that they inextricably link to their own versions of what could be referred to as a New Abstraction.

We made it out to ArtPadSF this weekend, where we saw works from presenting galleries such as White Walls, Ever Gold, Gregory Lind, Guerrero Gallery, Park Life, and Anno Domini, amongst others. And we got to sit poolside for a quick second as well.

Park Life just released a new Ian Johnson print, "Chet Baker," featuring Johnson's signature line-style mixed with something new: a full black backdrop. The Chet Baker print was made in an edition 50 with 4 artist proofs. Where to buy detalis after the jump . . .
