Rod Serling: Submitted for Your Approval Paintings by Gunnar Johnson September 4 – October 29, 2025

Celebrate the legacy of television legend Rod Serling (1924–1975) at WTML. Best known as the creator and writer of The Twilight Zone, Serling elevated TV storytelling and left an enduring mark on popular culture. To honor his 100th birth year and the 50th anniversary of his passing, artist Gunnar Johnson presents paintings inspired by iconic episodes of The Twilight Zone. Each piece captures the surreal, thought-provoking essence of the show, accompanied by brief text highlighting the episodes depicted. Gunnar Johnson is an accomplished artist and writer whose work has appeared in Mad magazine, Reader’s Digest, The Chicago Tribune, The Baltimore Sun, and The Orlando Sentinel. He spent 25 years at The Providence Journal and four years at The South Florida Sun Sentinel, where he was part of a Pulitzer Prize-winning team. He currently lives in Middletown.

His work has previously been exhibited at the University of Connecticut, the Mystic Museum of Art, the Hamden Art League, the Rhode Island Watercolor Society, and the James Blackstone Memorial Library.
