Modernist painter and printmaker
Ronald Julius Christensen,
of
Hough's Neck, Massachusetts
(south of Boston.) This wild,
semi-abstract, nautical seascape color serigraph print,
features matte, super flat silkscreen ink, printed over a semi-reflective, sized artist's paper, creating tonal fluctuation, with the flat serigraph ink appearing to 'float' above the surface of the satin finish paper. The type of abstraction
Ronald Christensen
employs doesn't completely dispense with any reference to reality and the natural world, with several sailboats seen with flags atop their rigging, erect in the stiff wind. The sun and swirling rays of sunlight curl over the scene with animated energy. The cobalt and cerulean blue water of the sea is as equally tumultuous as the charged atmosphere above it. Full of life. Add a little pep to your perhaps less than exciting walls in your home or office with this very handsome, period
