Marjory Johnston cared for her brother, Daniel, in the later years of his life. They developed an evolving art practice together. Marjory tore collage media and glued it down. Daniel would riff off the imagery, often using some of his iconic characters, but more often than not, developing completely new images. Some had text, others not. Some were more cohesive, others more jumbled & raw.
Later, Marjory & Daniel discussed the imagery, adding lyrics from his songs when they seemed salient. There was an ebb and flow in their art process, which was highly therapeutic. This exhibition includes numerous artworks from their collaborations. Additionally, select pieces from Marjory's collection of Daniel's early work are included, showing the evolution in character development and wholly unique images. It provides a glimpse into Daniel's mastery in drawing, pushing well beyond the superhero. Humor, darkness, joy & pain, Daniel's honesty permeates his art.
This exhibit will be feature some adult content, which is up to discretion of parent/caregiver.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until March 19.
