Archival inkjet print and screenprint in colors with industrial rubber flocking, on wove paper, with full margins.

Untitled (Good Days) (2012) by Rashid Johnson is a richly layered print combining archival inkjet, color screenprint, and industrial rubber flocking. The work features looping, almost calligraphic black gestures over a woodgrain-like brown background, evoking themes of repetition, ritual, and identity. Johnson's use of materials like rubber, often associated with urban and industrial environments, adds a tactile, gritty presence. The dense black forms seem to drip and obscure, creating a dialogue between visibility and erasure, presence and absence—recurring ideas in Johnson’s exploration of Black identity and cultural memory.

Rashid Johnson (United States, 1977) is an American artist known for his conceptual post-black art. His diverse body of work includes photography, painting, sculpture, and installations that explore themes of African American identity, history, and culture. Johnson often incorporates materials like shea butter, black soap, and wax, infusing his pieces with symbolic meaning.

The way that light hits objects, I think, is one of the more important things that sculpture and photography share.
- Rashid Johnson

American conceptual post-black artist Rashid Johnson (1977) is a painter, photographer, filmmaker, and sculptor known for his photography and artistic productions that combine natural and spiritual sciences to augment black history. His early work was distinguished by a unique photo-printing process to achieve a painterly texture to prints, with The New York Times describing some of his black-and-white photography as “spectacularly rich.” As a photography major, Johnson earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Columbia College Chicago and a Master of Fine Arts from School of the Art Institute of Chicago, after which he taught in the Lower East Side of New York City at Pratt Institute. Sometimes referred to as an artist-magician, Johnson creates and disseminates societal and cultural norms and expectations as they relate to the black experience. Much of his mixed-media work plays with concepts of race through contradiction and symbolism of coded references. Having earned national acclaim, Johnson’s work is held in some of the world’s leading art museums.
