Joe Lamar Johnson has been living in Paris and developing his career as an artist there since 1998.
Study abroad was important for Johnson at this point in his life. He felt that his life experience and perspective as an African-American male had been limited, and wanted to see how he would perceive the world once he stepped outside the cultural confines of the United States. He had visited Paris in 1990 and found that he felt very comfortable in the city, even though he could not speak French. He knew that if he graduated from Parsons, he would have an accredited degree that would be recognized in the U.S.
Over the past ten years, Johnson has participated in several shows in Paris, including two expositions at UNESCO and one at the Bibliothèque Nationale (National Library). Seven of these shows have been one-person expos. Johnson has sold numerous paintings to private collectors in the United States, Canada, Germany, and France.
Collectors who are interested in viewing Johnson’s works can visit his studio by appointment. He is currently accepting commissions for portraits. For further information, contact the artist at
