HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN CHRISTENSEN!

“With work in virtually every leading American museum and innumerable important private collections, Dan Christensen (1942-2007) is widely recognized as one of America’s foremost color abstractionists.

Christensen first started showing his paintings in the 1960’s to great acclaim.

In the 1990s, he created vibrant paintings with stacked orbs and oblique ovals hovering on brushed or dripped painterly fields of electric and often luminescent color. These “circle” paintings are among the most celebrated paintings of his career.

Here “Dolby”, 1998, oil on canvas, is seen in our room at the @brooklynshowhouse on loan from @berrycampbell gallery.

The critic Clement Greenberg anointed him in 1990 as “one of the painters on whom the course of American art depends.” Greenberg viewed Christensen as an exemplar of “post-painterly abstraction”—a term he coined for the movement that followed Abstract Expressionism in modernist progress towards what Greenberg regarded as a “pure art” that would eschew subject matter, spatial illusion and an artist’s persona in favor of revealing the “truthfulness” of the canvas.”

Christensen’s paintings are in such prestigious institutions as #guggenheimmuseum #whitneymuseum #metropolitanmuseumofart and #moma #albrightknox #hirshhornmuseum #chicagoartinstitute among many others.

Vanilla Blue 

Dan Christensen 

1998

The orbs of colours are a common motif of Dan Christensen that I adore. It’s compilation plays with foreground and background that I appreciate. It has always given me the impression of having 20/20 vision and wearing spectacles at the same time. Vanilla Blue is one of my favourite paintings by Christensen because it explores the depth of the canvas with a plethora of techniques invested. The drips, swirls, rollers and white paint overlaid over the blue paint. 

I hope to explore the various techniques of paintings in my own practice and overlaying these various techniques to create depth, turning my paintings into a sculpture.

In the 1970s, Color Field artist Larry Zox experimented with relegating forms to the periphery of his works - leaving unpainted voids at the center.

“A true friend of humankind whose heart has but once quivered in compassion over the sufferings of the people, will understand and forgive all the impassable alluvial filth in which they are submerged, and will be able to discover the diamonds in the filth.”

“Dan Christensen was a painter. That is, he was a painter. Like, a P-A-I-N-T-E-R. Christensen graduated in 1964 from the Kansas City Art Institute and began, well, painting about painting. And he was canny enough to narrow down his subject matter to composition, color, and—mais oui!—the way paint behaves on canvas. He was also gutsy enough to try almost any way—from grids of muted color blocks to ropy, aerobatic, candy-color sprays—of combining those elements to arrive at some sort of visual poetry...” -Peter Plagens, Artforum, 2009. “Dan Christensen: Early Spray Paintings 1967-1969” on view at Berry Campbell through 10/9/19.
