SUNE CHRISTIANSEN

Within the Artists-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host the artist Sune Christiansen. Born in 1976 in Denmark, Sune completed his MA in graphic design and animation from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Before taking up painting he has been working as an art director and animator at The Danish National Broadcasting Company from 2007. Christiansen has developed a signature approach to figurative abstraction that is as ambiguous and suggestive as it is playful and inviting. The body language of his characters often evokes such broad themes as hierarchical power dynamics, hieroglyphs and other pictorial language structures, religious devotional practices and the symbolism of intimacy and sexuality. Sune lives and works in Copenhagen and will be staying in Studio Azul during May 2023.
