| Introduction | Elisa Johns is a Los Angeles based painter who received her MFA from the Claremont Graduate University, and her BA from the University of California, San Diego. Johns has exhibited across the United States, and in Europe. Her most recent solo shows include Palisades at Kasia Kay Gallery in Chicago and Huntress at Mike Weiss Gallery in New York. She has received critical acclaim from publications including Art in America, White Hot Magazine and Beautiful/ Decay magazine. Johns haunting imagery of mythical characters and languid muses are infused with contemporary figurative style. The large open spaces within her canvases form dream-like landscapes of an epic fantasy. Both haunting and lyrical, Johns’ delves deep into the sublime of the western high sierra landscape. She contemplates both landscape and figure as muse and narrative mechanism. |
