Château Shatto

Pieces of Work, a solo exhibition of new work by Melbourne-based artist Helen Johnson will be on view at Château Shatto for the occasion of Gallery Weekend Los Angeles.

Helen Johnson (b. 1979) makes densely-composed works which embody the ambient and material dispositions of political histories, private affairs, and the painterly medium itself. The active intersection of these critical concerns is mirrored in Johnson’s methodology and process: pictorial and textural planes collide, negotiate amongst themselves, and unfurl in manners reminiscent of the ever-shifting structures which undergird economic, sociological and interpersonal systems alike.
