JAMES C. CHRISTENSEN - THE RICH YOUNG RULER
Est: $750 - $1,000
James C. Christensen - The Rich Young Ruler - Hand Signed - Limited Edition Canvas - Image Size: 25"w X 20"h. Limited Edition Of: 550 - How Much Are You Willing To Sacrifice To Follow What You Believe? That Is The Dilemma James C. Christensen Presents In "the Rich Young Ruler." Christensen?s Most Popular Scriptural Works Have Focused On The Challenge To Live Our Faith, To Give All That We Have And To Live In A State Of Thankfulness. Just Before His Triumphal Entrance Into Jerusalem, Jesus Passed Through A Town Where A Righteous Young Man Asked Him What He Could Do To Inherit Eternal Life. The Young Man Told Jesus How He Followed The Commandments And Obeyed The Laws Of His People, But Jesus Asked Something More: ?go, Sell Everything You Have And Give To The Poor,? He Said, ?and You Will Have Treasure In Heaven. Then Come, Follow Me.? The Home Of "the Rich Young Ruler" Is Filled With Symbols Of Both His Success And His Dilemma. The Laden Camels In The Frieze In The Foreground Illustrate Jesus? Next Words To His Disciples, ?it Is Easier For A Camel To Go Through The Eye Of A Needle Than For A Rich Man To Enter The Kingdom Of God.?

Their relationship is more like that of sisters, although possibly even stronger. They have been friends for decades. Over that period of time they have had the chance to share all the joys life has presented them. They have also looked to and supported each other through hardship, distance and change. Separately, they have grown but never have they grown apart. The physical distance between them is overcome by an unseen connection. ?This painting is a diptych, each panel its own character. Unlike my diptych 'Sisters,' both of these women are equals in their relationship as indicated by the similar style of clothing between the two. Both women lightly grasp the tie that binds them together. It is not a difficult thing to manage. Additionally, each has an ample length of cord in reserve, ensuring that no physical distance between them can severe their tie.? As with James Christensen?s original diptych, both Fine Art Editions of "The Tie That Binds" are presented in two panels. One of artist?s ideas in creating the work was that each of the sister panels could reside in a separate residence, serving as a beautiful and thoughtful reminder of the relationship that makes this painting complete.

Hand Signed James Christensen Framed Litho Titled: The Shakespearean Poster
Est: -
James C. Christensen (born September 26, 1942) is an American artist. His main body of work, mostly paintings, is heavily influenced by fantasy themes. Even his small body of religious work shows heavy fantasy influence. Christensen says his inspirations are myths, fables, fantasies, and tales of imagination. Christensen was raised in Culver City, California and attended UCLA. He then moved to Utah to finish his higher education at Brigham Young University (Christensen is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints[1], BYU's sponsor). He then went on to teach art for over 20 years where he finished his teaching career at Brigham Young University in the late 1990s. Christensen now resides in Orem, Utah. Since his graduation he has had numerous showings of his work throughout the US and has been commissioned by numerous media companies to create artwork for their publications, such as Time-Life Books and Omni. Most of Christensen's paintings have a philosophical message. He is loath to describe them, however, preferring to allow the viewer to discern their own message. Christensen's work has appeared in the American Illustration Annual and Japan's Outstanding American Illustrators. He also won all the professional art honors the World Science Fiction Convention offers, and multiple Chesley Awards from the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists. Christensen has published more than three books, with many of his works appearing in many more. His first book, A Journey of the Imagination: The Art of James Christensen, was printed in 1994 to great acclaim.
