Mitchell Johnson of Menlo Park, California—an American Academy in Rome Visiting Artist (2015) and a Josef and Anni
Albers Foundation Artist in Residence (2007)—is the subject of the monograph, Color as Content, and the documentary
film, The Artist of Silicon Valley. Johnson’s color- and shape-driven paintings are known for their very personal approach
to color and have been exhibited in Milan, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Johnson divides his time between
his favorite painting locations in Europe, New England, New York City, Asia, and California. His paintings are in the
collections of 28 museums and over 600 private collections. The most recent museum acquisitions were by Museo
Morandi in Bologna, Museum of Modern Art in Rome, Tucson Museum of Art, and Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento.
Johnson moved to the Bay Area in 1990 after finishing his MFA at Parsons in New York. Follow @mitchell_johnson_artist
