Lance Johnson, is a visual artist that works with various materials to celebrate the complexity of the urban environment using vibrant colors, textures and inspirational text to convey a sense of hope and pride that is prevalent in city life.

Art has the power to connect people from all walks of life across cultures, languages, and religions. To Johnson, art has always been a collective pursuit rather than an individual one. Collaboration is a large part of his practice, and throughout his artistic journey he has worked with dancers, musicians, poets, singers, and other visual artists. This multidisciplinary artistic expression creates dialogues across both perceived and unperceived barriers.
