 Save the date, May 17, 2024 is the opening of the retrospective exhibit, "La révélation de Meyreuil",

at Musée de la Villa les Camélias, Cap d'Ail, France. The exhibit runs May 17-September 29, 2024.

"In 1989, at the age of 25, Mitchell Johnson left New York for his first trip to Europe — a voyage that would launch a lifetime of interaction with color. Landing in Gotland, Sweden, and making his way south to Meyreuil, France, he was drawn to and overwhelmed by the new landscapes and unfamiliar colors and patterns. Driven by a powerful instinct to translate what he saw into paintings, he returned again and again to work on location and to study in museums."
