Elisa Johns "Huntress"
Mike Weiss Gallery
This event has ended.
Inspired by iconic heroines of myth and history, Johns’ women are updated contemporary versions in an excessively glamour- driven society. Tipping her hat to illustrators of fashion, her figures set in luxurious landscapes are depicted in light washes and embellished with painterly impasto. Born in Los Angeles, California and raised in Phoenix, Johns is no stranger to seeing cultural icons glorified. Here, she offers us an alternative to celebrity deities and gives us women who by history’s definition defied the rules of their time.
