Item Description
Bio
Embracing the qualities of old and new technology, Chicago artist Jonathan Michael Johnson searches for a rhythm unifying the two, creating a new space for his work to exist. Using photography and sculpture he builds immersive 3D cityscapes.
Artist Statement
Art should inspire and build connections across a diverse body of people. An artist is responsible for accessing a collective sense of wonder - planting a feeling that expands within the viewer.
I remember first seeing the metropolitan framework of Chicago from the rear window of a speeding car. To my eyes the buildings were impossibly high and overflowing. I was in awe.
I want to recreate that feeling for my audience. Combining photography and sculpture I build large-scale 3D, immersive cityscapes, sharing the wonder I experienced as a child. The initial images can take several hours and multiple photos to capture. I then add, subtract and layer the imagery, creating spaces that illuminate urban culture, celebrate details and explore hidden patterns.
How they are made:
3D Prints:
Multiple exposures are digitally combined to create a detailed cityscape image. This composite image is used as a guide to create a template - a map of the elements in the scene. Printed multiple times, the template is cut apart then reconstructed to form the final cut paper assemblage.
