This is not appropriate for this group. Its almost as bad as posting a link to Starry Night by Van Gogh and asking if any one has seen this. This is on Cartoon Network. Yeah I know about it. What does it have to do with this group. I like animea but not here.

The pieces that this site is perhaps most notable for are the mirrors, sometimes made of things that are not naturally reflective. For example: the wooden mirror, which, taking the image from a videoacamera, activates selected actuators, causing some of the wooden panels on a display to tilt downward. Those panels, appearing darker because they are now in shadow, create the darkened region of a mechanically created, pixelated moving image of the person standing before the "mirror". In the artist's own words, "Rozin creates installations and sculptures that have the unique ability to change and respond to the presence and point of view of the viewer". Videos and photos of some of his work are included.

Yumiko Kayukawa was born in the small town of Naie in Hokkaido, Japan. The panoramic beauty of her surroundings and feelings of communication with the native animals inspired her to paint the things around her. As a teenager she also fell in love "with the energy and giddiness" of American pop-culture through her exposure to rock n' roll, film, and fashion. By the age of 16, she had debuted into the art world with a comic-book (Manga) feature. After graduating from Art school, she continued to paint, but struggled with truly expressing herself in her art. Fortunately, this frustration took a dramatic turn during a visit to Seattle where Yumi painted a picture at the request of an American friend. In comic-book style, two girls sit entwined atop a mushroom, Japanese symbols and American pop art styles melding together in lively color and bold lines. Yumi now realized her art persona - sagacious Japanese tradition in synergy with the jubilant irreverence of American pop culture. What does she see for her future as an artist? "I'd rather my paintings hang next to rock star pin-ups than on museum walls. Ultimately I want to connect with people all over the world on that level", she says with a smile. When we look at her work, it's obviously just a matter of time.

YUKO SHIMIZU is an illustrator and a fine artist. She is also an illustration instructor at School of Visual Arts, New York. Drawing had been Yuko's hobby ever since she was a child. However, growing up in a traditional Japanese family, pursuing a path in art was just not an option. After receiving BA in advertising and marketing - the most creative of the practical field - from Waseda University she landed on a position in PR for a big corporation in Tokyo. It never made her quite happy, and she was in a mid-life crisis at age of 22.

During a long and distinguished career Harriet FeBland's sculpture, paintings, drawings and graphics have been shown in many countries outside the United States. These include England and France, Japan and Mexico. It was as an American abroad that this New York born and educated artist began her professional career. She lived and worked in England and France and actively participated in European art circles for more than a decade. Her recognition as a pioneer constructivist sculptor-painter came in the early 60's with her major New York exhibition "Plastic in Art" at the Galerie International. It was soon followed with an invitation from Thelma Newman to be included in the book "Plastics As An Art Form" published by Chilton Press in 1963. This work is still considered the eminent text on the subject today. It also highlights the handful of pioneer artist's working with plastics at that time, and the beginnings of 'construction' as the art form of Ms. FeBland.

I see my paintings as living creatures with shapes, problems and solutions that I address within a candid dialogue, stemming from pure spontaneity, entering a space of concentration, rhythm, physical gesturing, and an understanding of where a work wants to go.

CoBrA was formed thanks to the joining of forces of three experimental groups under the leadership of Christian Dotrement and Asger Jorn in 1948. The group took its name from the first letters of three prominent European cities - Copenhagen, Brussels, Amsterdam - and a manifest was drawn up and afterwards signed in Paris by the group's founding participants, Jorn, Dotrement, Noiret, Appel, Constant and Corneille, at a little café.
