James Christensen - Fish Walker Etching

Description: James Christensen - Fish Walker Etching Tinted etching of four of James Christensen's "poofy guys" from the 1980's. You can see the preliminary design of the Fish Walker and The Pear Balancer - two future porcelain releases from Greeenwich Workshop. Another figure eventually shows up in his "Jellyfish on a Stick" painting (more on this image to come). This mint condition piece is #26 of the low edition size of 100. The paper size is 15" x 11”, and the image size is approximately 8" x 5.5". This piece is extremely rare - no sales have been recorded of this etching in the dealer network since 2000. Inspired by the world’s myths, fables and tales of imagination, James C. Christensen’s work adds up to more than a beautiful - if sometimes “curious” looking work of art. Having taught art professionally for over 20 years, he thought of the world as his classroom. His hope was that through whatever he creates -- be it a porcelain, fine art print or book -- he can convey a message, inspiration or a simple laugh. He believed that teaching people to use their imagination helps us find solutions to sooth the stresses of everyday life-or get a little lift to help us keep going. In short: all things are possible when you share Christensen’s philosophy that “Believing is Seeing.” Christensen was born in 1942 and raised in Culver City, California. He studied painting at Brigham Young University and, for a while, the University of California at Los Angeles before finishing his formal education at BYU. He had one-man shows in the West and the Northeast, and his work is prized in collections throughout the U.S. and Europe. Christensen has also won all the professional art honors the World Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention can bestow, as well as multiple Chesley Awards from the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists. Christensen has been 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 and is an Honored Alumnus at Brigham Young University for his contributions to fine art and education.(1942-2017) Due to the value of this item, a signature will be required upon delivery.
