Kendall Johnson Presents 'Drawing the Line' in Yost Art Gallery

Kendall Johnson of Kansas City, Missouri is featured this month in the Walter Yost Art Gallery on the campus of Highland Community College in Highland, Kansas. The exhibit is titled “Drawing the Line” and runs through March 15.  

On display is the evidence from the last three years of Johnson's reawakening and return to their roots of pattern and repetition. From large densely packed drawings with graphite, to small watercolors focusing on color, "Drawing the Line" shows the journey of an artist returning to form. Moving from a printmaking background to strictly drawing, Kendall brings new ideas and techniques to their drawings. Asking questions and finding answers in the process of drawing is their main approach to any drawing. Every drawing starts with a question, “If I do this and do that, what happens next?” Drawing is a process of questioning and attempting to answer.

Johnson has his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Kansas State University and Master of Fine Arts from University of Nebraska. You may follow Johnson on Instagram at kendall_h_johnson.

View “Drawing the Line” in the Yost Art Gallery located in the Jack D. Nutt Math Science Building on the campus of Highland Community College in Highland. The gallery is open to the community Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with no admission fee.
