George Johanson

George Johanson's artistic journey spans from Seattle to New York, with a focus on bathers, swimmers, and urban scenes, particularly in Portland. His work uniquely juxtaposes the chaos of fires—whether from city buildings or volcanoes—with human indifference, exploring themes of vulnerability and resilience. As a painter, printmaker, and educator, Johanson captures the essence of both everyday life and extraordinary events, reflecting a deep connection to his environment and the human experience.
