The Fine Art Centre Sculpture Ornaments and Porcelain

James Christensen 'False Magic'
In the fantastic world of James C. Christensen’s paintings, fish are a symbol of magic and wisdom. “Their floating presence in the air reminds us that anything is possible,” says Christensen, “and those touched or surrounded by fish are considered truly blessed. When the fish don’t arrive, however, sometimes a person will take matters into his own hands, with compelling but less-than-convincing results.

“When The Greenwich Workshop first approached me about transforming False Magic into a bronze sculpture I was surprised, but it turned out to be a brilliant idea. As soon as we had constructed the rigging I knew it was going to be great; the creative work and art of many people have taken False Magic and made it real magic.” Meticulously crafted, superbly detailed and stunningly translated into three dimensions, this sculpture will provide real magic wherever it finds a home.

James Christensen 'The Gift of Charity'
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. - I CORINTHIANS 13:13
James C. Christensen's beautiful Holiday Angel series celebrates gifts worthy of angels-love, peace, life, hope, music-as Christensen inspires us to live life to its full potential. The Gift of Charity is the greatest of gifts, granting us the ability to help others before ourselves; a gift as important during holiday time as it is throughout the year.

James Christensen 'Round John Virgin'
If the name of the new addition to James C. Christensen's beloved Nativity sounds familiar, it's probably because the Christmas carol Silent Night is humming in your head. It was during a Christmas past that one of the Christensen children misheard one of the song's lyrics and asked "Who's round John?" Not missing this creative opportunity, James developed a new character for the crèche, the portly soul aptly named Round John Virgin. And who is this jolly fellow? He's the innkeeper, doing his best to accommodate this young family and provide them with all the comfort he can on this most celebrated of nights.

James Christensen 'Benediction'
"I have always used the floating fish to symbolize the presence of life's magic," says Jim Christensen.
"Occasionally, I've wondered whether these little guys are bringing the magic with them or are the result of it.
Who is the recipient of the benediction? Is the angel blessing the fish, or in another way, is the fish blessing the angel … blessing her by its presence? The Latin on the ring, Beatus est Pisciculus, translates as
"Blessed is the Little Fish." Regardless of which came first, the angel or the fish, it's important to stop and take the time to be thankful for the magic in our lives."

James Christensen 'Sleeper Lost In Dreams'
"In dreams, it is said that wings represent a release of creative forces, that they give us the ability to understand and transcend the human condition," Christensen says of Sleeper, Lost in Dreams. "In religion, wings appear on angels, faeries, spirits and demons. In mythology, winged creatures are often messengers of the gods; they are a symbol of freedom and spirituality and a character having one wing is said to be lost in dreams." Following in the tradition of his previous four bronze sculptures, we present Sleeper, Lost in Dreams. Meticulously crafted and superbly detailed, this sculpture is sure to grace the lives of collectors for generations to come.

James Christensen 'Gabriel Creche Angel'
"What is a nativity scene without angels?" asks Jim Christensen. " The angels who appear in the Bible are always male, but many angels found in the world of art seem to be female. I see both their roles in the nativity as messengers. Gabriel was the biblical messenger who came to Mary with the annunciation of her role in the birth of the Christ child, so it is likely that he would have shown up at the birth. Evangeline's name translates to 'good tidings,' a central theme to Christmas."

James Christensen 'Fishing'
"Fishing is fun," Christensen says. "It's a gentle poke at myself, my colleages, and other people who constantly fish in the same old bucket rather than explore new waters." Popular Christensen artistic touches are here in abundance, including the ornate costumes, and, of course, the trademark fish, symbolizing the fantastic made real.

James Christensen 'Darius The Camel'
Camelus Dromedarius (that's one hump, not two), the "ship of the desert." So important were camels to life and travels in the deserts of the Middle East that in the language of the Bedouin the words for "camel" translate to "God's gift." It seems fitting that a caravan of beasts so aptly named would have transported these gift-bearing wise men as they followed the star that foretold the birth of the messiah. Our particular camel was so valued by his owner that he was named for the great Persian king, Darius I and was the only camel in the train allowed to sleep in his owner's tent.

possessions. Limited to the year of the heart datemark.

James Christensen 'The Gift Of Life'
A baby is God's opinion that life should go on." - Carl Sandburg
Perhaps the finest capacity we have been granted as humans is to bring new life into this world. As parents, grandparents or brothers and sisters we all have had the chance to experience the wonder and joy inspired by the birth of a new child. The heart of Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ. Gift of Life, the first in our third set of Holiday Angels, serves as a subtle reminder that the miracle of every birth is a gift from heaven.

James Christensen 'The Oath'
For Every Doctor Who Believes Laughter is the Best Medicine

For more than 2,400 years physicians have honored Hippocrates? Sacred vow to treat a patient with empirical, scientific wisdom and ethical consideration. However, as Christensen wittily reveals, medicine has taken directions that Hippocrates could never have imagined? The omnipresent beeper and mountains of paperwork, for example. At the same time some archaic treatments would surely elicit a chuckle?or shudder?from modern physicians and their patients. There's one diagnostic tool that hasn't changed, however: the crystal ball! Based on a popular limited edition fine art print of the same title. Fine art porcelain.

Approx. 9 3/4"h. Edition limited to 950.

James Christensen 'The Shepherd´s Wife & Child'
The characters found in James C. Christensen's Nativity pay tribute to those found in the traditional créche while taking on qualities important to James-such as family. The Bible tells of the shepherds, who were watching over their flocks of sheep when a choir of angels appeared to them singing "Glory to God." The angels tell the shepherds to follow a bright star to Bethlehem, where they would find the newborn savior asleep in a manger. Rather than head directly to Bethlehem, this shepherd went home and gathered his wife and child, thus making this incredible journey as a family. This touching addition to the story of our Savior's birth is an inspiration to us all.
