“Look Up” – Painting on Paper by Diane Christenson
Look Up is a striking work on paper by Chicago-based artist Diane Christenson, whose practice explores movement, impermanence, and the sentient energy of all forms. Her profoundly relational worldview animates each mark—where figures, shapes, and gestures coexist in a state of both flux and connection.

Whether seen as abstract or narrative, Look Up invites viewers to consider what exists beyond the frame—both above and within. It carries the emotional resonance of Christenson’s daily painting and drawing rituals, where humor and fear, motion and stillness, coexist in layered harmony.
