Denis Jantzen
Christian Carlsen
Born 1974
Associated with The Art School since 2006.
He finds his inspiration in matters that occupy him, for example he is happy for his city Copenhagen, but it can also be motives that recall a special feeling in him. For example, the joy of eating ice cream, a bus ride, etc.
Often it is such a spontaneous interest in an event, a place or a phenomenon that underlies Christian's motifs that he most often wants photos of and which forms the basis for his images
Christian has a very perceptive streak. He often draws blind drawings, where he depicts the contours of the object sensitively.
Christian likes to experiment with many techniques and forms of expression, such as; watercolour, acrylic, linoleum print, etching, papier-mâché, ceramics, thread, cardboard etc. However, he often returns to acrylic on canvas, where he draws his motif with a pen.
