More Info	Artist Biography Johnston Foster’s work is, in his own words, created from an “alchemic process”. He is a hunter and gatherer of sorts, finding and then reconfiguring objects and other materials most would consider to be trash. There is a thoughtful yet immediate quality to Foster’s work. His work is highly imaginative. In this particular installation, Foster explores the conversation between formal and narrative qualities of objects. Foster received a MFA from Hunter College located in New York City in 2005, and a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University, located in Richmond, VA in 2001. In 2003 he attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Foster has shown internationally including exhibitions in France, the Czech Republic, and Germany. His national exhibitions include San Francisco, Los Angeles, Utah, and New York City. Foster teaches at Virginia Commonwealth University. He is represented by RARE Gallery, NY. All works in this exhibition are courtesy of the artist and RARE Gallery, NY.
