Emmett Johns

Sept 19 - Nov 7, 2026 | On view in Ruth Morton Miller Mezzanine

Emmett Johns | Transcending Time

On view through November 7, Transcending Time is a solo exhibition of work by Emmett Johns, a regionally celebrated portrait artist and painter and whose abstractions draw on decades of practice at the intersection of Abstract Expressionism and Asian art and philosophy. For Johns, mastery is not a fixed destination but a willingness to begin again: each work starts with the deliberate act of setting aside what he already knows, allowing one intuitive mark to summon the next.
