Eric A. Johnson has proven to be one of the region’s most prolific artists, creating well over 150 prints in the last seven years and has exhibited extensively in over fifty regional and national exhibitions. His award-winning work is sought after by art collectors and corporate collections around the region. Art enthusiasts in the Fargo-Moorhead area often recognize Johnson’s prints and comment on the brilliantly hued landscapes; a result of Johnson’s unique use of color in the reductive relief process. In a recent article in Professional Artist magazine, Louise Buyo described Johnson’s prints as “[b]right and emotionally expressive, with loose lines that turn buildings and streets into more organic forms, Johnson’s prints portray the city as a channel of changing mood.” Currently Johnson is an adjunct instructor of art at Minnesota State Community and Technical College (Detroit Lakes). He is also a member of the FMVA (Fargo-Moorhead Visual Artists) and co-owner of Dakota Fine Art (Fargo).He has served as Master Printer through the PEARS program for editions by Canadian painter Ken Dalgarno and artist Star Wallowing Bull at North Dakota State University (Fargo).
