“I am dedicated to capturing an image as it truly exists.” - Eric Christensen
The Marcus Ashley Fine Art Gallery is notable for displaying the works of native California artists who have made a name in international circles. One of them is Napa Valley resident Eric Christensen. The beauty of Eric Christensen art lies not only in the technique, skill, and composition that the artist brings to his work. Instead, each print is a storytelling masterpiece in hyper-realistic watercolor that is rife in symbolism. Duel Contenders is a tale of two whiskeys. Rendered by the artist in stunning detail, the Glenfiddich and Glenlivet XXV bottles are presented as the trophy of the William Grant & Sons family and the flagship of Pernod Ricard, respectively. The amber drinks are further illustrated in all their glory inside sophisticated goblets. A glass bowl of green olives and a larger one with pistachios are the two savory options to enhance the taste of the spirits. Christensen’s trademark reflections and highlights are present on every glass surface, including the tabletop, liquor tumblers on the shelves, and hanging champagne flutes. This setting will not be complete without his signature silvers, here appearing in a nutcracker, the bowl’s legs, an ice pitcher, and a sword on display to complete the masterpiece.
