Zachary T. Johnson’s ever-growing body of work is characteristically postmodern. No, that’s not it. Zachary T. Johnson’s ever-growing body of work is quintessentially postmodern. Through painting and drawing, he seeks to represent the fragmented and flattened-out reality associated with the present day. Not adhering to a singular style or mode of working, he is able to freely pull from extensive interpretations of influences within art history, film, music, poetry, and more. His methodical production effortlessly weaves back and forth within disparate ideals such as structure versus spontaneity, and representation versus abstraction.
