Scintillating Portals into the Fantastic: The Art of James William Christenson

James William’s varied use of media, subject matter, and stylistic approach to his artwork is astonishingly diverse. Nevertheless, there is a commonality to his work after all: An often understated humor and a deeply ironic juxtaposition can be found in nearly all of his artwork. Most pieces of artwork in this collection tell a story and are certainly interesting in their own right, but the real delight with James William’s work is sharing it with others and watching their reactions or depth of observation. This multilayered and shared amusement is gives deeper experiential depth to James William’s work. I hope you enjoy the selected works enclosed in these pages. Many of these pieces have not been publicly displayed before. Look through it - closely - then share what you have discovered with others to continue the amusement and story. James William’s art showcased in Scintillating Portals into the Fantastic will certainly not disappoint!
