Christine Aerfeldt's profoundly personal early paintings integrated nostalgic sepia-coloured paintings of old family photographs from Estonia, with bright and polished depictions of kitsch Hummel-like dolls in traditional and beautifully-detailed European folkloric costumes.

Working from her now characteristic digital manipulations of old master imagery and kitsch figurines or dolls, ChristineAerfeldt paints with a consuming intensity and a palette that resonates with rich colour. In her latest body of work Flying Visitation, Aerfeldt inserts a painted rendition of a ceramic horse figurine into reproductions of opulent portraits by Anthony van Dyck and Nicolas de Largillierre. Van Dyck's aristocratic seventeenth century Englishwomen Lady Elizabeth Thimbleby and Dorothy, Viscountess Andover are groomed to a heightened degree, portrayed with an elegance that was a feature of the court of Charles I, their ringleted hair meticulously arranged in tight curls across the forehead.
