			Gana Art is pleased to present It’s Good to Be Here, Brooklyn-based artist Aaron Johnson (b.1975)’s second solo show in Korea, with new paintings that focus on togetherness and reflections on oneness with nature. These new paintings show mystical spaces where figures revel in a transcendental interconnectivity between all beings and with the natural world. The enchanting ethereal beings that occupy these paintings are endearing, sometimes humorous characters, and other times angelic or ghostly. All of them are born out of a flowing spontaneous method of working with fluid paint, until the character comes to life like a vision on the canvas. Allowing the paint to flow freely, the process connects with the ideas of cosmic and natural forces. Inviting the viewers into Aaron’s mysterious spirit realms, this show will offer a dreamlike experience that unravels the artist’s visual language and subconscious.
