JESPER CHRISTIANSEN

Jesper Christiansen (b. 1955) has always, first and foremost, been a painter. Of particular fascination to him has been the relationship of plane to perspective, as well as issues relating to the space in which the painting would concretely be placed. These are his signature interests. Since the mid-1980s, he has concentrated on the relationships between illusion and plane in very simple configurations, a theme he developed throughout the 1990s in paintings in increasing degrees of complexity. Words pop up as subject matter, shifts in perspective take place back and forth across the surface of the painting and subtle references to the reality that the paintings reflect or inhabit are used to indicate the unique nature of the painting as painting - as art - unlike the world in which it is hung.
