Atlantic Champagne 1979

Dan Christensen’s 1979 abstract painting, *Atlantic Champagne*, showcases his signature style of gestural brushstrokes in white paint on a warm, beige background. The painting evokes a sense of movement and energy through its dynamic, fluid lines and the implied depth created by the layering of paint. Christensen’s work is often categorized as Abstract Expressionism, though his minimalist approach and subtle use of color place him within a broader context of post-painterly abstraction. This work exemplifies Christensen’s exploration of the materiality of paint, its application, and the expressive potential of color and gesture.
