Artist Bio:
Matthew Robert Johnson (b. 1977) is a Los Angeles based artist. He holds a BFA in Printmaking from California State University, Long Beach, and is currently an MFA candidate at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
He is a multidisciplinary artist working in sound, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and video. His practice involves process-based investigations into form, abstraction, and repetitive imagery, strongly influenced by his upbringing in the codified world of the military family, and his later long-term association with Noise music.
Johnson is a Chancellor’s Fellow at UC Santa Barbara, and received the Margaret Bedell Endowed Scholarship at CSU Long Beach. He has performed at The Hammer Museum, Human Resources, and 356 Mission, and exhibited at The Meow LA, O.N.O. Gallery, CSULB, and UCSB.
