STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian Johnson’s work utilizes the idea of recycling forgotten furnishings to recreate assemblage artwork that doubles as a functional furniture piece. Not only does Christian bring together the assemblage with found objects, but makes it known that his furniture collage takes on a personality or human characteristics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by a period of deep sorrow, these furniture collages are meant to express emotions Christian could not share on his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian Johnson is an artist who practices collage in both 2D & 3D forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After graduating college in 2018 in Interior Architecture and Design, Christian found a deep interest for mid century furniture design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this in mind, Christian combined his practice of 2D collage into 3D object as sculpture, as well as functional furniture design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By combining both worlds, this created a gateway for furniture and collage to rise to an all new perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
