Please join us for the opening reception of Annie May Johnston's Paradox of Habitation. You'll enjoy a craft cocktail punch created for the exhibition and bites from Executive Chef Luke Knox at Burritt Tavern while you mix and mingle with the new MAX Occupancy artist, Annie May Johnston, whose works often combine paintings within paintings and divergent perspectives that afford the multiplicity and simultaneity of a digital screen.
Numerous translucent layers of warm and cool painted patterns flatten and blur the traditional perception of discrete objects in space. An uncanny, hybrid dimension emerges where form, space and time flow together. We never encounter the inhabitant, only subtle traces of moods that fluctuate from sly humor to alienation.
Johnston exhibits internationally and nationally and recently completed a 90-foot commissioned installation for Facebook in Austin. She received her MFA from the University of Texas at Austin in 2016.
