Symbolic painting, shifting planes and twenty years of exhibition work under the family name.
02David Johnson
Adopted in 1996 for the burst of automatic surrealism — dribbles, rubbings and unbound color.
03D.J. Priest
Pop iconography and painted three-dimension, made to be seen through polarizing lenses.
