Courtney Johnson (b. 1981) lives and works in San Francisco CA. Johnson’s paintings plumb interstellar depths, introducing animalistic god-like beings into unsettling landscapes with variegated flora and undulating surfaces, introducing more questions than answers.
Johnson received her BA from Prescott College in 2004 and her MFA from California College of the Arts in 2011. She has had solo exhibitions at Guerrero Gallery, San Francisco CA (2019); Alter Space Gallery, San Francisco CA (2016); Park Life, San Francisco CA (2011); and Carville Annex, San Francisco, CA (2010).
Her work has been included in group exhibitions at The Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art, Buffalo NY (2019); Fused Space, San Francisco CA (2017); Ctrl Shft, Oakland CA (2017); City Limits Gallery, Oakland CA (2014); and Steve Turner Contemporary, Los Angeles CA (2012); amongst others.
