Through its characteristic explosive imagery, Chris Johanson’s work embodies powerful contradiction — vibrant sexuality and personal awkwardness, apocalyptic scenarios and peaceful ideals. It is simultaneously crude and hyper-urban, childlike and highly cerebral. Chris started out in the early 1990s, painting skateboards and tagging bathroom walls and lampposts in the Mission district of San Francisco. |

In Wells Tower’s first book of short stories, Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned, published by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, happiness is a birthright that expired before the characters were born. Tower’s festering characters are defiantly themselves, and these selves might be best described as faithful to their aggressive instincts. These guys struck bloody from the womb, and seek only the contentment they expect is owed to them. |
