The Howell Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by Dennis R. Johnson at BancFirst Tower Underground, 100 North Broadway Avenue.

Johnson has painted for over forty years, building a body of work that moves fluidly between abstraction and photorealism. His abstract paintings bring an unexpected sense of control, order, and realism — qualities he deliberately introduces to challenge assumptions about what abstract work can be. "My paintings are like inventions," Johnson says. "I love discovering new territory."

In recent years, Johnson has turned his attention to a series of photorealist works, finding in them a new set of challenges and a fresh perspective on his lifelong passion. The exhibition brings together paintings from both bodies of work, showcasing the range of an artist who describes his practice simply: "I live to paint and paint to live."

The exhibition remains on view through July 2026.
