ROCKLAND — 'POP' sees Black Hole present the most recent work from Orlando Johnson, placed in the context of pieces that have stemmed from similar musae and in like styles over the past decade.

In a group of work where subjects have been chosen who are inspirational to the artist, one is represented by a piece of his own rather than a portrait of Johnson's: renowned British printer-maker Kip Gresham.

The collection on display illustrates a journey through time and artistic exploration, starting with a suite of screen prints depicting favourites from the artist's life as an adoring Arsenal fan - Patrick Vieira, Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry and Robert Pires were the popstar's of his late teens and early 20s as they formed the backbone of a legendary team in the history of modern soccer; and culminating with a return to painting with an energy-infused depiction of Brian May.

The gallery and artist have found a narrative to weave together pieces, which include subjects as seemingly far apart as Taylor Swift and Sir Martin Rees, the Astronomer Royal. The former is depicted in Johnson's most recent exploration of wood as a medium, where he combines it with mirrored glass. Portrait of the Selfie Age explores the contrast between the fleeting and the enduring; and the current proliferation of the personal image. Meanwhile, his portrait of the eminent scientist sees a switch to paper and collage, a medium that allows a more precise and seamless presentation of idea, and intricacy of cut not previously available.

Having gone from printmaking to the pieces from cut wood, these paper collages are a forward step that take a turn toward the earlier works on paper; and the return to painting, for God Save the Queen marks a closing of the artist's circle.
