Christine Wing Kristensen
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Christine has been a practicing artist since 1990 after studying art with Clem Millward, Michael Johnson and John Peart. Her work has been exhibited widely, and she has been represented several times in the Portia Geach and the Doug Moran portrait prizes. Her painting process is lengthy - the oil paint is applied in a series of transparent layers which refract the light and intensify the colours.
ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Due to their beauty and their abundance of mythological, religious and allegorical significances, fruits of all kinds have featured widely throughout the history of art, and have been particularly prominent in the genre of still life painting. In my paintings, they are illuminated by the low sunlight that occurs in the intervals between night and day. Seen in the gathering shadows of a summer evening, or emerging into the brilliance of first light, even the most everyday and commonplace of fruits can assume other meanings.
