Cambria Center for the Arts (CCA) Visual Arts Gallery proudly present “An Eye Opener,” featuring local artist Ken Christensen. The gallery will also be filled with Local Artist’s work who may be inspired by “An Eye Opener” theme, but not restricted it.
The featured artist, Los Osos resident Ken Christensen, is a landscape painter who works in oil, watercolor and other mediums. His rich, distinctive style recalls the bold tradition of the Post-Impressionists and the intense colors of the French Fauve painters. A native of Michigan, Christensen has also worked and exhibited in Paris, London, San Sebastian, Spain, and New Mexico. He settled in California in 2000. Christensen’s goal for this exhibit is to open viewers’ eyes to the beauty that surrounds them, often in overlooked places. He uses color with confidence – in an assertive, exaggerated manner – to capture our attention and delight the senses, elevating the mundane and creating visions of wonder.
