Christiane Spangsberg is a Danish artist known for her timeless and minimalist interpretations of the people around her. Since 2014, Christiane has been inspired by the philosophical thinking of Beardsley on “The Theory of Aesthetic Value”, which in short assumes that aesthetics is created by three composite properties; unity, complexity and intensity. These three characteristics are taken into account in all of Christiane’s works and are therefore the cornerstone of her creative practice.

Choice of materials, color palette and composition are all carefully studied in Christiane’s creative practice. Options are carefully assessed based on the thesis of complexity and unity. In 2015 it was clear that a color palette should define Christiane’s work going forward. The choice was between three colours; one beige and two dark blue. Christiane made several works with these colors which can be seen in her very early work, but ultimately ended up with the dark blue color anthraquinone being the cornerstone of her work. Chrstiane only started working on canvas in 2019, which can be seen in the exhibition ‘Garden of Eden’. Since then, Christiane has used canvas as an important choice of material to create cohesion and calm in her works.

In 2016, Christiane was asked if she wanted to create works for a restaurant in Sydney called The Paddington Inn. This was her first project and the work consisted of 10 works which together formed one large artpiece.

Christiane returned to Sydney in 2017 where she had her first solo exhibition with the gallery Jerico Contemporary. The show sold out in just minutes.
This was the start of her career and Christiane has since had exhibitions internationally with great success.
Christiane is not represented by one specific gallery and is often the sender of her exhibitions herself.
