About the Item
Artist Comments
Rare moments can happen twice in a blue moon. The artwork honors the magic of those non-ordinary events that occur in life. Artist Johnny Karwan made the piece using heat-fused recycled plastic from shopping bags. The blend of colors and shapes evokes a feeling of mystery and quietude.
About the Artist
Artist Johnny Karwan heat-fuses recycled plastic bags and vinyl to create modern abstracts with a translucent quality from the materials he uses. “I find inspiration in the creative potential of everyday disposables, transforming discarded plastic bags into elevated works of art,†says Johnny. He spent years traveling as a background painting teacher for animation before transitioning to creating murals, sculptures, and designs for brands and architects worldwide. His studio, located in the front half of his 1904 Edwardian flat in San Francisco's historic Haight-Ashbury, is complemented by a workshop for wood cutouts and assemblages. When he’s not creating, Johnny enjoys hiking in nature, exploring cities and galleries, and indulging in world travel and road trips.
