Christina Major
The work of American painter Christina Major sees a convergence of styles that she has made uniquely her own. Collectors will find traces of Pop art, Photorealism and Expressionism in the wide range of distinctive portraits she has created over the years.
A closer inspection of each large-scale canvas, which is prepared with gesso and stretched, will also reveal the integration of text — Major layers hand-painted words and phrases in cursive over each of her painted subjects’ faces, which draws on her background in graphic design and affords the artist the chance to share her own memories and opinions or general thoughts on the subject of a given work.
Major, a native of Concord, New Hampshire, centers her paintings on cultural icons. She has painted the visages of American musician Prince, actresses Lauren Bacall and Audrey Hepburn, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, as well as Pop art staples such as James Dean and Marilyn Monroe.
After living in several places around the world, Major is now based in Florida and earned her MFA at Florida Atlantic University, and has exhibited throughout South Florida. Her work is held in private collections in the United States and elsewhere.
