Brett Allen Johnson's solo exhibition, "Earthly Bodies," is a marvelous, hypnotizing display of contemporary artistic vision opening at Maxwell Alexander Gallery on Saturday, November 14th, 2026 in Pasadena, California.

In "Earthly Bodies," Johnson's compositions continue his sublime, revelatory perspective on the landscape of the American West expressed through rich textures and unexpected colors culminating in a truly one of a kind visual encapsulation of what America's Southwest is.

The Utah-raised artist is able to lightning rod the West to his canvasses through a lifelong connection and intimate knowledge with his surroundings alongside or with what I can only determine to be some level of ancient mysticism that he, alone, is privy to. It is in artwork like Johnson's that beauty is able to resolve itself into definitions.

If you're in or near Pasadena, I implore you to go and take a look.
