Press Release:

Anthony Brunelli Fine Arts is pleased to present a the latest installment in our ongoing Artist Insights series. Artist Benjamin M. Johnson discusses his lifelong love of art and science, and takes us in depth on works in his series “Between the Earth and Jupiter.” This series of work considers perceptions and connections; each painting is less about its self and more about its connection to other works in the series.

"Between the Earth and Jupiter is a series of paintings that explores perception and connection. Very often when we hold an object in our hands, it can seem like a plain and singular thing in the world. A deeper investigation however, always reveals more. There are always connections. A simple, utilitarian paper tea wrapper for instance, intended to be discarded after use, has a deep story in its creases and folds. A story of the long tradition of tea as a historically important beverage is woven into those paper fibers, as are the impacts of globalization."
