His love for David Lynch’s American cult show Twin Peaks is most evident in Christophersen’s painting, in which he mysteriously explores beauty and horror, drama and transience. The young artist is an all-rounder. He acts as theatre maker, performer, visual artist, art facilitator, designer and illustrator. Christophersen was part of Marina Abramovic’s Project 30. His paintings has been awarded several prizes. In the past he has commissioned works for celebrities such as Lady Gaga and collaborated with several Australian fashion houses.
