OUR SERVICES
Parallel Paint is a boutique painting service dedicated to sculptural works—whether newly created or in need of sensitive conservation. We collaborate with artists, fabricators, and conservators to deliver finishes that are both technically exacting and visually seamless, regardless of scale or era. From start-to-finish realization of complex artistic visions to conservation work requiring a subtle and steady hand, our focus remains the same: care, craft, and fidelity to form.
Founded by painter Matt Johnson, Parallel Paint brings nearly a decade of experience to each project. Specializing in trompe l’oeil techniques through brush and airbrush, Matt has contributed to the work of leading contemporary artists including Richard Prince, Yayoi Kusama, Claes Oldenburg, Huma Bhabha, Leonardo Drew, Amanda Ross-Ho, Nicole Eisenman, Joel Mesler, Tony Matelli, and others.
OUR APPROACH
Every sculpture has its own material language, and every surface tells a story. At Parallel Paint, we listen closely—working hand-in-hand with artists and studios to ensure each project receives the tailored attention it deserves.
With a strong foundation in both technical skill and visual sensitivity, we translate artistic intent into surface treatments that enhance, clarify, or preserve the object’s presence. Our work is guided by respect—for the vision, for the craft, and for the subtleties of form, color, and texture. We meet each project with discretion, patience, and the quiet discipline that detail demands.
