These paintings look wild! Aaron Johnson, a past guest on Radio Juxtapoz and one of our favorite American painters, will open We All Shine On at Bowman Hal, the new gallery launched by SOLO within its recently inaugurated contemporary art centre, SOLO CSV, in Madrid. The exhibition, on view from September 15 until November 15, 2025, is presented in collaboration with Almine Rech.
“It feels to me like the paint itself has embodied a force of nature," Johnson says, Luminous beings and glowing orbs of colour populate Aaron Johnson’s most recent work, in which mysterious figures emerge from experimentation with the free flow of paint. Ethereal shapes come to life through the careful addition of feet, teeth or multiple eyes, while the psychedelic palette of contrasting shades infuses each canvas with energy. Aaron Johnson: We All Shine On is an uplifting experience of colour and form which celebrates our interconnectedness and environment.
