Recent Works by Elliot Johnson 🗓 February 7, 2026 | Opening 5:00 to 7:00 PM 📍281 Maple St., Brooklyn 📧 contact@galleryparticulier.org Elliot Johnson’s drawings are made slowly and with care. Each work takes many hours to complete, reflecting a deep commitment to process, focus, and imagination. Drawing has been a constant in Johnson’s life—both a creative practice and a way of navigating mental health challenges. His imagery often depicts strong, expressive women and draws from a wide range of influences, including music, hip-hop, pop culture, and Asian traditions, whether Hinduism or Japanese visuals. Many of the figures are musicians or singers, as a tribute to their talent, and the joy they experience in performing. This exhibition marks Johnson’s first solo show and a long-overdue moment to celebrate an artist who has spent much of his life developing a very personal and visually rich body of work. Figures in a Minor Key: A Visual Mixtape is also an invitation—to talk openly about mental health, to support one another, and to recognize creativity as a source of resilience and connection.
