Their concepts are driven by mental health, art, and fashion as therapy subcultures. Johnson creates a healing space for themselves and others within their work, essentially a safe space. They are deeply affected by traumas and how the human mind, soul, and body can be soothed by a moment. As they discover ways to comfort themself, their art emulates a calm, euphoric space. Johnson also brings themselves into the painting hoping to bring a sense of euphoria and vibration within the colors of their craft. They also have a deep emotion towards nature and the world; nature flows organically using every opportunity to grow and branch out into beautiful tendrils worldwide. Its mark is known calmly and fluidly which is an adaptation seen in their paintings. Johnson feels grateful to be able to express themselves through this outlet and will continue to display their art for the world to see.
Rick Secen is an artist based in Brooklyn and the Associate Director of Established Gallery. Rick has focused on figurative oil paintings since 2015 and his paintings are often scenes portraying a character having a direct interaction with light. Light and atmosphere dominate the canvas. There is often a sense of longing met with the radiance of light. Light is no incidental element, but is itself an active character in the narrative, moving, seeking, and reaching out.
