More about the series:
Johnston’s celebration of the golden era of European motorsports. Utilizing the materials and fabrication methods of traditional Italian “Carrozzerie,” Johnston’s work evokes the styling and coach building tradition that created Italy’s finest luxury sport cars, culminating in the racing cars and prototypes of Ferrari - which dominated both Formula One and legendary endurance races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, especially from the late 1950s until the early 1970s.
Born in Los Angeles, California in 1969, Johnston studied at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), before transferring to Art Center College of Design. His work has been shown widely in the United States and Europe. He lives and works in New York and Miami.
