Eirik Johnson (American, b. 1974)
Eirik Johnson’s project Leviathan Rising (2023-ongoing) concentrates on the abstracted forms created by layers of sediment, oil, tar, marine life, and rust collecting on cargo vessels during their travels from the Pacific Northwest to Asia. Marked by their voyages across the Pacific, the vessels are photographed by Johnson in transformative scales, perspectives, and lightings, creating a new, surreal architectural space where nature and industry converge. The site-specific installation is presented within the historic Georgetown Steam Plant where large-scale images like Alaska Provider (2019) are projected in the plant’s boiler house.
Eirik Johnson received his MFA from San Francisco Art Institute (2003). He received a Fulbright Grant in 2000. Published as a monogram, his series Borderlands (2001-2005) was shown as a solo exhibition at the MoCP in 2005. Johnson’s photographs are in the permanent collections of Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; National Fulbright Organization, Washington, D.C.; Centro de la Imagen, Peru; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and more. Since 2014, he has served as Programs Chair at the Photographic Center Northwest.
