Brett Allen Johnson’s “Southwestern Passage.”

Opening on October 9th, 2021 at Maxwell Alexander Gallery in Los Angeles, California is artist Brett Allen Johnson’s solo exhibition, “Southwestern Passage.”

From the gallery:

“Brett Allen Johnson’s first fascination with the West stemmed from childhood visits to northern Arizona to visit family in Sedona.  These trips would take the Johnson family from Northern Utah through iconic western landscapes like Mt. Carmel, Kanab, Page, and Vermilion cliffs.  Johnson’s Grandmother, a watercolorist, would take her grandkids on outdoor adventures to explore and paint scenes of the surrounding landscape.  These early experiences would ultimately lead to the artist’s journey into recreating the desert on his own canvases.
