Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi Hosts Art Opening of Ian Johnson's work

On Friday, November 21, 2005, Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi hosts the monthly Third Friday’s Art Reception in his City Hall office, Room 282. This month’s featured artist is Ian Johnson.

Ian Johnson is a native New Yorker and a San Franciscan artist. His portraits, predominantly of 1950s and 1960s jazz musicians, investigate the space between the musician and his music. Energetic pen and ink marks are evocative of the spontaneous nature of jazz music and the physical structure of the human form. Ian Johnson’s position as the art director of San Francisco’s Western Edition website has led him to investigate the fundamental nature of his artwork as both cultural and commercial products.
