| In Pursuit of Abstraction: Texture, color, and depth define the works in this collection. Wild inspiration fueled by beauty and visual drama. The thick outlines and boundary free shapes melt and collide, while whirling, forceful lines and brazen colors speak of the individual's quest to come to terms with the inner turmoil of the psyche. These creations can serve as a metaphor for life in general, for the unexpected and exciting experiences that lie ahead. |

ARTisSpectrum Magazine,
vol. 16, gets rave reviews  ARTisSpectrum Magazine vol. 16, released in October 2006, received rave reviews from artists and collectors alike.
The next edition of ARTisSpectrum will feature......and highlight..... You the artists. In addition to several important articles addressing issues of interest to artists, the upcoming issue will address the cultural phenomena that is sweeping the Chelsea art district. As thirty something scenesters flock to Chelsea galleries to see and be seen, we wonder if this is not a back lash to computers, cell phones, blackberry's, ipods, and ibooks. Has the need for culture and human interaction become fashionable again. And has technology spawned a generation of young, hip, savvy art aficionados who are destined to become tomorrows well informed art collectors. We wonder. |

MIWA YANAGI - Deutsche Bank Collection : This Japanese photographer catapulted to fame with a series of photographs of Elevator Girls which explored the ideas about appropriate roles for women in Japanese society. Yanagi's work is about the psychology of people, and this is reflected in subsequent series such as My Grandmothers which brings to the fore ideas that young people have about ageing, and Fairytales, a series of hauntingly dark images of reworked Fairytales, which depict children assuming the guise of both young and old characters in strange indoor settings which are loaded with symbolism.
