SUMMARY:Erick Johnson’s Passages at Furnace
DESCRIPTION:FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nErick Johnson: Passages\nA Solo Exhibition at Furnace – Art on Paper Archive\nFalls Village, CT, June 7, 2025 — Furnace – Art on Paper Archive is pleased to present Passages, a solo exhibition of new works by artist Erick Johnson. This latest body of work explores color as a threshold—an ever-shifting visual language of movement, transition, and transformation.\nAt the heart of Passages is the idea that color is both a fixed presence and an unfolding experience, much like the Zen teaching from The Gateless Gate: “When you try to grasp it, you lose it. When you no longer try, it is there.”\nThis paradox mirrors Johnson’s approach—his compositions vibrate with shifting relationships, yet they settle into a profound harmony when fully absorbed. His work does not seek to define color but to invite the viewer into its passage, embracing the impermanence and fluidity of visual experience.\n“Color is an evolving conversation,” says Johnson. “Each form is a portal, a way of moving through a visual space that is both structured and fluid. Passages is about that journey.”\nA seasoned painter with a deep commitment to abstraction, Johnson’s practice builds on the traditions of modernist color theory while carving a distinct, contemporary path.\nPassages will be on view at Furnace – Art on Paper Archive in Falls Village, CT, from June 7, through July 5. Opening reception: Saturday, June 7, 4 – 6 pm\nFor press inquiries, images, or further information, please contact: Kathleen@Furnace-ArtonPaperArchive.com ( mailto:Kathleen@Furnace-ArtonPaperArchive.com )\nwww.furnace-artonpaperarchive.com\nAbout Erick Johnson\nErick Johnson is a New York-based artist whose work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. His vibrant abstractions explore the relationships between color, structure, and perception, engaging with the traditions of modernist painting while pushing the boundaries of form.\nAbout Furnace – Art on Paper Archive\nLocated in Falls Village, CT, Furnace – Art on Paper Archive is a contemporary gallery dedicated to works on paper. Through innovative exhibitions and programming, the space fosters dialogue around the role of drawing, printmaking, and mixed media in contemporary art.\n107 Main Street, Falls Village, CT 06031\nGallery hours Saturday & Sunday 11 am – 4 pm.\n
