Christensen' Description Opulent, colorful, Shakespearean, extraordinary all words that aptly portray Christensen’s most popular artworks that have also been described as creations from the land a little left of reality. He has created a Shakespearean Island, an entire undersea world and a village of Mother Goose characters. But when he isn’t giving life to other’s worlds, he paints a place of his own. The result is a unique kinetic kingdom where recognizable human emotions are often manifested as fish or fowl, utilizing the viewer’s own imagination as no other artist can. His art includes unique people, places and things that exist somewhere between adult dreams and childhood memories. I don’t think of myself as a fantasy artist, said Christensen. I certainly have an affinity for myths, fables and ancient lore. What’s truly important to me is that my art is introspective and in turn challenges the mind’s eye of those who view it regardless of the subject matter. The artist has been commissioned by both Time/Life Books and Omni to create illustrations for their publications and his work has appeared in the prestigious American Illustration Annual and Japan’s Outstanding American Illustrators. Christensen has also won all the professional art honors the World Science Fiction Convention can bestow, as well as multiple Chesley Awards from the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists. Christensen was recently designated as a Utah Art Treasure, one of Utah’s Top 100 Artists by the Springville Museum of Art and received the Governor’s Award for Art awarded by the Utah Arts Council recognizing the significance of Christensen’s artwork to Utah’s cultural communities. He was inducted into the U.S. Art magazine’s Hall of Fame.
