Following Aaron Johnson's solo debut with Almine Rech earlier this year, the gallery recently announced the release of 3 prints with images from Other Earths. Marking the first limited edition collaboration with the artist, Bluebird Bluebird Bluebird Joy Joy Joy, And Sometimes Birds, and Sky Blaze with Two Hawks will be officially released on September 30th via Almine Rech Editions.

"Allegory, the grotesque, humor and esotericism animate the paintings of New York-based artist Aaron Johnson, whose new body of work oscillates between genre painting, portraiture and landscape painting," Paris-based journalist Charles Barachon wrote in the press release for this exhibition. "The luminous, fluid and heterogeneous nature of Johnson's oeuvre is owed above all to a singular creative process. He inherited this practice from Color Field stain painting, pioneered by Helen Frankenthaler and continued by Morris Louis, emblematic artists of American Abstract Expressionism. The artist first spreads his blank canvases out on the floor of his studio, paints a few motifs, and lets highly diluted liquid paint spill out in various shades; then, he lets the laws of chemistry and physics do their work. Thus begins Johnson’s work of improvisation, which centers on immediacy and letting go."

The 3 limited editions are capturing Johnson's practice transforming the effects of his acrylic of canvas into archival pigment prints on cotton paper and will be available in a low edition of only 40 examples + 10 APs, each measuring 29 1/2 x 35 3/8 inches (75 x 90 cm), signed and numbered on the front. — Sasha Bogojev
