Presentation of artist Aaron Johnson

New York painter Aaron Johnson (b.1975) will be stopping in Maribor, one that has the balls to slam the American society in the face with the ton of bull-shit it produces. He will be presenting his work at the MMC KIBLA on Monday, May 21st at 8pm, and discuss with you any topic you might currently be pondering.

Kindly welcome!

"In the current dismal state of the nation, viewing Johnson’s explosively grotesque paintings is suddenly a bit like looking in the mirror. As subtle as a popped blister, they ransack the cultural vernacular — Christianity, Thanksgiving, war, Michele Bachmann, Babe the Blue Ox — and spew it back in our face, with plenty of blood, guts, and bodily fluids. And let’s take a moment to appreciate that the announcement card for this show features the image of a military-helmeted dog crapping in Jesus’s mouth while fellating him. God Bless America."
